When a child becomes a broken adult
Due to experiences outside their control
They lose themselves
Before every finding what's in their soul

When a child has endured too much pain
They press on
Love more than they should
And somehow learn to dance in the rain

When a child resonates inside
All the memories you have to protect
Ignore
The trauma you have to hide

When an adult can hug the child within
Knowing it's not your fault
Feeling the pain
Healing can begin

When the child and adult become one
You can look back
Cry and experience
But know someone hurting you is done
