I can feel her peeking,
Shyly one eye around the corner.
I can see her sneaking,
Flying under curtains.
Giggling at the thought
Of finally being out in the open.
Playfully teasing,
One foot in and
One foot out.
She gets closer and closer,
Preparing to just dip her toe in.
I coax and cheer her on,
I'm ready for the show to begin.
She's almost ready
To come out after
Being long, long hidden
From within.
Inner child healing. Becoming my true self.
