To the child in you
Who never defined herself
By her age or gender
Till others did it for her
To the child in you
Who never doubted himself
His ideas or his intuitions
Till others said ‘are you sure?’
To the child in you
Who never limited herself
Her abilities or strengths
Till others said ‘be careful’
To the child in you
Who never blamed himself
For his attempts and experiments
Till others called it failure
To the child in you
Who is curious and open
And still bursting with life
Despite what others did to you
