Inner Child

Inner Child

A Poem by Laytee Lannette

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Deep brown eyes baring down into my soul
A little girl who feels she cannot express
Invest in her own true being
Putting everyone first
But longing for her voice to be heard
Masking every insecurity, doubt, and fears so featly with a smile
With eyes that could light up the sun
Brown seeds of the sunflower's being, layered around her creation of soul

First off, I think you should put up another pics that fully displays your eyes, cause I have to tell you while I read this poem, I literally wanted to see those "...eyes that could light up the sun". Anyways, I think this is a good poem. It draws one into the intrinsic struggle of the poet and her "...longing for her voice to be heard".

That being said, I can tell you that I for one have heard your voice. And penning this down this is you expressing that part of your true being that may have seemed suppressed. All the best and I look forward to more of your works.

P.s. Welcome to writer's cafe.

I appreciate how beautiful, yet raw this was in capturing thoughts and feelings that invade all of our hearts and minds at some point in time. Good work!

I loved this very much. Looking deep into yourself, there seems to be an intertwined, youthful soul that still retains such pure personalities. Everyone has that innocence within them, however, it's sad how most people will abandon their beautiful youth to become more like an adult. You've expressed how connected we truly are to our child selves. Nice job!
