To My Child Inside. Poem by alex sarich

Today I will let go
forgive my parents
for past pain, and
free me from past failures
and make peace with
my inner child.

My anger is channeled
to embrace and embark
on a balanced life.
I smile now toward my
parents who constantly
contaminated my child cycle.

I now live in a rebellious
free environment met by
boundaries with no dependency,
destructive dysfunctional behavior
my inner child is no longer blamed
or punished for his actions.

I move my cupboard forward
to a new space where it doesn't
occupy bad light and darkness
the draws are now empty of dread
and deprivation and shelves are full
of affirmations.
