INNER CHILD

Rejected by my mother

She inflicted so much pain

Why do I want her so badly

When it makes me feel insane?

I try to make her love me

But when I do, I die a little more

I'll never get, what I never got

Tell me; What do I do it for?

But my Inner Child needs a mother

Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

But I have to tell my inner child

I'm the only mother,  you'll ever see

Oh, why won't she grow up, move on

Why won't she settle for another

It seems no matter how old we get

We're still a child, who needs our mother

I grew up and I moved on

I became the mother, we never had

I learned to give to myself, what I never got

And now I don't feel so bad

I came to understand

The thing that I couldn't see

The person she rejected 

Was her own reflection, when she looked at me
