The Girl Inside
She comes and goes, hides and shows, the Girl inside.
Concealed by Woman host, warned against tears being cried,
again and again. No lessons learnt the Girl inside retires and waits, for Him.
Him is scarce, unexpected, is here with Woman now, unaware of the Girl inside.
Woman is talking, smiling, gazing with eyes open wide.
He smiles suddenly and the Girl, awakes, smiles back, now out of hide.
The Girl is coy, as girls can be when playful gambles free,
in happy display with little bidding when Him is here to Be.
Veiled in woman’s years, the Girl shines through, He sees only She.
Girl, all fluster and flap, dizzy in muddle, smiles a rainbow and giggles,
dazzling in innocent reveal of the Girl inside, all forfeit to Him as possible beau,
He holds spent breath and paints this memory, as time passes slow.
In conjured trick She is gone. He blinks and blinks again but sees only Woman,
beautiful guardian of She, the Girl inside. He, in search of rainbows end, smiles.
The Girl inside, in doubt of secrets spilled in want of fragile plan fades into Woman,
beautiful trusted friend of She.
No hurt to test, no tears to cry, no eyes to dry, no long goodbye.
She comes and goes, hides and shows, the Girl inside.

reading your sincere words
makes me want to suggest
'break the Shell' by India Arie
to you, thanks for sharing
(some lyrics from the song)
'Courage is not being hard
It's time to peel back all of the layers
You put between who you're meant to be
And who you are
And go be: who you are
So much disappointment to finally understand
That there is no such thing as perfect
We're all simply doing the best that we can
And we have a choice to live
or to truly: be alive
This is your life
Child its time to break the shell
Life's gonna hurt but its meant to be felt
You cannot touch the sky from inside yourself
You cannot fly until it breaks the shell'
Thank you so much, not familiar "break the shelf" but very interesting and with strong message.
