The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

It’s Going To Be Okay Child

It's Going To Be Okay Child

It’s going to be okay, Child

You can stop crying now

I know you feel alone in this world

Like you have no one to turn to

It’s not your fault

That no one was there

When you needed them most

You are not alone anymore

Because I’m here with you

And together we are going to heal

And love each other

As we deserve to be loved.

About The Poem:

“It’s Going To Be Okay Child” was inspired by my most recent therapy session. My therapist and I have been talking about wounds and the wounds we carry from childhood. As I grew up, I abandoned my inner child and left her behind. I did what I had to do to survive. I don’t know if that makes sense to you but it does to me.

And recently, I have been trying to reconnect with my inner child and heal the wounds I have from my childhood. I plan to talk about this a little more in tomorrows post. Heads up to those of you who don’t care, don’t read tomorrows post lol.

“It’s Going To Be Okay Child” was inspired by that and conversations I have had with my inner child.

What did you think of this poem? Are you in touch with you inner child or did you leave them behind as you got older? Let me know in the comments because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi.

    Beautiful words. I’m looking for a new therapist myself and will have to start from scratch. I am rather ignorant of my inner child, feeling as though he has always been there. Please remember that I will always be a listener if you need me, here it Twitter. Keep striving, keep winning, good lady.

    Hey, Pooja! I loved this poem! I never really thought about leaving my inner child behind until lately, but I guess I did. Life happens. Abuse. Lost innocence. Children. Jobs. On and on it goes. I did talk about this with some friends at YL and it was really great. I was able to speak kindly to that little girl and let her know that she will be ok.

    I keep telling my inner child to be there forever!

    Look I’m growing old, this is sad reality, but I don’t want to stop loving certain things as an excuse of age.
    I love reading children magazine, I love doing things that people of my age may not want to do. I’m doing things that young me should have done.
    I’ve changed a lot, but I want to have that curiosity and happiness of knowing things for the first time.

    I do feel lonely many a times, it’s sometimes I never realised 20 years ago, but yeah it is what it is.

    Sending a lot of love to you and your inner child( ohh that sounds awkward, but you know what I mean) 🤭
    Things will be fine for dearest Pooja as strong confident and amazing PG will do just fine. 🙌🏻🤗

      I’m getting old too and I need to hold on to certain things that I don’t want to lose as an adult. It’s not easy to remain one with our inner child because life discourages it. We all feel lonely sometimes. I’ve been feeling lonely a lot these days.

    A very touching poem! Inner child healing and the connection feels magical once you accept the feelings and deep buried emotions it’s trying to communicate, it can feel scary and even overwhelming but once you slowly try to understand what your inner child truly wishes to communicate you realise you can conquer anything in the world. Amazing poem! Well done 🌻

    i would say i abandoned my inner child while growing up, as it always seemed that there was always bigger things happening in life. I did so without realizing, until the adult years hit, then started to realize thats what I did as well. But it is important we all reconnect with the inner child, as its important for healing and growth. It’s good that your reconnecting too.

    My inner child was an Adult Think-tank consultant and professional hit-man trapped in a child’s body. Now it’s trying to destroy itself by threatening to hide itself in a multiple personality disorder only known to exist in extraterrestrials from a bellicose planet where inhabitants are born adult and can fly bundles of comic books over skyscrapers in a single bound but are invulnerable to Kryptonite and gluten.

    I think I am still a child yet when I spend time with children I understand that it’s not true at all… they are so much more resilient and also optimistic, I love it. I spent a few hours with my students and thought they are so happy and carefree and walking on air all the time. I want to spend more time with them to get a bit of their optimism and weightlessness.

    It’s a beautiful and very relatable poem! I weant through this pretty late in life (my 30’s) but it well describes something that I am still struggling with as I try to be bring them all fully togather again! I have found that my own inner child while hurt and in need of comforting, also has a potential dark side. It needed to know that it will be loved no matter what but also held accountable along with It’s adult version, and thay playfulness is something for all ages. It is always part of me and we are one!

      Thanks so much! I think all our inner child’s have a darker side and that’s where some of our darker thoughts stem from. However, when we nurture our inner child and love it the way it deserves that dark side begins to subside. At least that’s been my experience with this so far.
