She was within you sleeping peacefully,
Awoken one day by a memory
That little girl frozen in time
Laying in the darkness
You are too scared to close your eyes
The nightmares will takeover
Painting and repainting the pictures from your past
You freeze, can’t move
She is here
That little girl frozen in time
Curled up in the corner
Your knees pulled to your chest
You fear the shadows
You fear the pain
You are haunted by your past
She is here
That little girl frozen in time
Cold and emotionless
You wait for the flashbacks to invade
It hurt when he made you a woman
You were just a little girl
Triggers make you remember
She is here
That little girl frozen in time
The pain is fierce
You cannot cope
You must find a release
You slide a knife across your skin
Draw blood with each new cut
You build the walls around you
She is still here
That little girl frozen in time
You built up walls to keep you safe
But now you are confined
Trapped in your past
Destroying your present
Stealing your future
You are being torn apart by her
She is always here
That little girl frozen in time
You have to try
You have to love the little girl you used to be
This is the part where you find out who you are
You are not ordinary
You are extraordinary
You are that little girl
She is you
That little girl frozen in time
Listen to your heart
It is still beating
It is still fighting
You made it
She made it
She survived
She is here
That little girl frozen in time
Her strength and courage are shining through
She is allowed to grow
Tear down your walls and free her
Let her shine
Or she will always be here
That little girl frozen in time
Let your healing begin
You are allowed to grieve
Let your anger, grief and pain unfold
As your tears begin to flow
It is OK to face your fears
To finally let go
She doesn’t have to be here
That little girl frozen in time
Dear little girl
It is not your fault
You always were enough
Dear little girl
I know it’s hard
But let yourself be free
Come out of the darkness now
You do not need to hide
You no longer have a secret
But a story and a voice
Dear little girl frozen in time
It is time for you to shine!

Amazing, wonderful poem which expresses such pain but also a recogmition of healing. I am sure this will help others who have had similar experiences resulting in a froxen child.
