My Inner Child

Look closely at this illustration. Can you see an old woman, a young woman, or both?


Based on an idea from
Every Photo Tells a Story.


MY INNER CHILD

My Inner Child's in mourning
For she passed a looking glass
And she saw the awful ravages
That daily come to pass.
My Inner Child is merry,
She only lives to play,
But the Inner met the Outer
In a looking-glass today!

Hi.
I think in rhyme
all the time.

I just saw that one of your favorite movies is "The Children's Hour". I saw that for the first time about a month ago. I really liked it! It really reminded me how mean little girls can be!

I saw the younger woman first, but after I could "see" the older woman I had trouble switching back again!

Your poem expresses an essential truth, I think. Everyone always feels the same on the inside; and yet, the outside can become quite disorienting!
