Poetry and Poems About Reclaiming The Inner Child

Updated on June 23, 2014

Freeing the Inner Child

When the inner-child is free to run and play it inspires us to think more creatively.

The Inner-Child is the Keeper of Our Secret Dreams

The inner-child remains the keeper of our most secret dreams, and sometimes it is only through our dreams, that the child can find its way out.

A Child Hides Inside of Me

Floating upon clouds

Touching the stars

Exploring the universe

Both near and far.

Traveling the world,

Swimming with mermaids,

Flying with birds.

She dreams in castles

High atop mountain peaks

Of unicorns and fairies,

Of lions who speak.


A Child Grieves Inside of Me

For innocence lost and scars that bleed,

For broken promises,

For love that ends,

For all the losses

Time cannot mend.

Hurtful words un-thoughtful acts,

The sting of which

Cannot be taken back.

Gasping angry sobs

Rage against tyranny and hate,

Protesting unjust choices

The powerful make.

.

A Child Laughs Inside of Me

A delighted giggle at firefly light,

At making funny faces

At hanging upside down

Running through a field,

Or spinning round and round.

Instinctively knowing that laughter is a must

As necessary to living life

As belief, and faith, and trust.

Better for healing than potion or tonic

Its power can be found

When pure joy and happiness

Burst forth into sound.

A Child Lives Inside of Me

Protected from doubt and disbelief

Safely unaware that the world has changed

She believes in the hero's hat of white

In good over evil,

And the absolute of wrong and right.

Stirring the memories of simpler days

When awe and wonder

Marked our childhood play.

My past child-self,

Residing in the heart of a more jaded me

Making it possible

For us both to believe.

Inside each of us our inner child hides,  reminiscing and remembering the way things were, and the way that they wished for them to be.
