Little Me

I'm sorry 😞 I just never noticed until now The way you have always been there In the shadows, not lurking but protecting So small and seemingly fragile With eyes that tell a thousand tragedies Yet there you are, there you've always been So resilient and brave with a fire in your soul so beautiful it ignites love Pure genuine love and loyalty You are absolutely the true hero in this story It's always been you kid You and me, we're breaking these chains Undoing these generational curses Healing our trauma and slaying our demons So I'm sorry I grew up and stopped noticing you I understand why you never left now It's never been me protecting you You've always been the one trying to save me I just didn't notice 😔 Maybe one day you'll get to grow up too Maybe one day I won't need younger me to protect me from the things I can't handle Until then let me fight this battle next to you and be the grown up for a while
