I’ve become protective of the little girl within me.
The little girl who was always terrified of the monsters screaming right outside her bedroom door. The one who wept silently in fear until the voices were no more.
The little girl who tried to put on a brave face for her sister- shielding her from the pain. For this little girl, I yearn to do the same.
The little girl who had too much emotion for this world she was told. She tried and she tried, but she wouldn’t dare become that cold.
The little girl who was sliced open about the way her body exists. I try and block that knife, but that knife never wants to miss.
The little girl who never felt desired or worthy of any love that occurred. Today, I do my best to fill her up, spilling over to give her more than what she deserves.
I’ve become protective of the little girl within me. I won’t let anything come her way. She’s a survivor, and she’s survived too much to let it all slip away.
This little girl deserves the protection she never once received, and I will do everything to ensure that that protection never recedes.
