.
little girl ... little one
don�t hide away now
come out into the light
out into life
.
i know you are scared
the dark place in your head seems safe
no-one can hurt you there
but no-one can love you there either
.
your place will still be there
you can always go back
it will not disappear
no-one can take it away
.
please won�t you come out with me
i am like you ... you know
i am part of you and you are part of me
you are frightened ... i am frightened too
.
but i have learned some things
in the dark safe place we miss everything
yes everything bad ... but everything good too
like puffins and swans and blossoms on our tomato plant
.
i need you to come out with me
you are part of me
if you are there
part of me is there too
.
i am trying so hard not to want to be there
but i need you to come out too
i promise you can always go back
but please won�t you try
.
just for a minute of two
its okay ... i promise
you are a good little girl
you can come out
.
don�t shake your head
your are a good girl
you are not bad
mother is wrong
.
she doesn�t love you or me or us
because she chooses not to
she is bad
to have made you think you are bad
.
you are not bad
you are just a scared little girl
broken hearted and lost
but come with me and we can mend our hearts together
.
you are part of me
i need you
please won�t you try...
.
