how you doing inner child?

been a while since i’ve written, how are you doing inner child? tonight’s sleep hit different, the familiarity of loneliness tugging at my heartstrings and my mind blinks remembering. remembering that I am still her and she is still me and we haven’t gone anywhere. so i’ll ask again, how are you doing inner child? we live under the same sky, the same sunset and sunrise, how are we doing inner child? she tells me she’s terrified, I tell her I know. she tells me she’s so scared she doesn’t know where to go. I hear her, she hears me, we listen as our voices speak in sync. she extends her arm and I extend mine reaching for eachother like we’re reaching for the stars. miles away but we’re sitting next to eachother. so I ask again, how are we doing inner child? we’re scared. we’re numb. we don’t recognize it for what it is. we’ve never had this before. we’ve never done this before. im terrified. she’s mortified. we speak in sync.
