There's a little girl inside you. Do you see her? If you look real hard you might find her. Do you see her now? I know she's really hard to see, because you've had her buried a very long time. Look a little closer. She's been hiding a long time, afraid to come out, not even knowing who she was herself. Shes been hiding inside herself, where no one else could see. Everyone thought they knew her, but they didn't. Everything that was in her life, the pain, the grief, was stored and hidden in a very quiet place. It was private. She even forgot where she hid it. She did it on purpose. She had to survive. This little girl, so tender so alive, yet a stone. Not knowing her own feelings, open to all yet so alone. Stones do not feel, and have no hearts to break, stones don't analyze all the give and no take. When did you first take notice of the little girl? When did you realize she mattered? When did you realize that her pain had to surface and she had to reappear like a ghost from the past? When did you find that this little one had dreams and plans and schemes, and hope for a future? When did you realize that you loved her, and took her hand, and accepted her for what she is? When did you realize that it's ok to be free, and its alright to cry, and when did you discover that little girl is you?

You Came Out Of It You looked the look. You talked the talk. You never once spoke of it. But you knew it was there. You fought against it. It tore you assunder, this monster in you. It moved with you. It crept in disdain. You detested it, but still it was there. The years prolonged, this genetic creature. Its grasp tore you, but you had to be free. You shoved it aside. You took the stride. You beat the monster. You came out of it! Nancy Carico Dittert Copyright ©2004 Nancy Dittert |
