I know you are in there.
The real you.
The one you don’t show anyone else.
You come out when you feel safe
If I could just reach you
pull you out of the darkness
Bring you into the light
show you the possibilities
If I could just keep you there
laughing, feeling safe, loved and beautiful
If I could give that to you always
you wouldn’t keep disappearing
slipping away from me
as you hide from the world
But I know you are in there
So I will keep trying
