Alley

inner child

In my darkest alley

I found you

    wondering lost

        without a clue

I held your hand

for I felt your fear

and said those who scared you

     were not near

Little girl

big bad world

torn apart

controlled for sure

Free to see

light of day

you don't have

to run away

I wish what I told you

were entirely true

but the same people are there,

and their hurt too

So come out to play

teach them the way

not to say

       cruel things today

"Fight to see
Light of day",
"so come out to play
Teach them the way
Not to say
Cruel things today".....Well you just awed me with your words...As i always tell you that you have an unique ability to enter into the reader's mind with such ease that the reader finds it very attached to his mind....Wonderful work as always Jesse with a lovely message....Full rating......

Dhiman, you are too kind, in your review, I was speaking more of my own self then you, I feel like I could always cut a word here or there, and then I still need to make it longer...so ever the struggle. So, thank you for your words, and remember, you are a beautiful poet, and don't ever let anyone, convince you otherwise my friend, if I for a second made you second guess your ability, then slap me silly with a slapjack!!

even as we age we still have that sensitivity, and it seems to grow as we get older, almost as if we revert to that child we once were...yes that inner child---but this could also be a parent trying to protect her child from what she (the parent) went through once...

really excellent write...at first i read the third line as "wandering" but then the more i thought about it "wondering" fit well for different reasons.

thank you Jacob, i think your thought about the parent protecting from the cycle is a beautiful one
