Introspection Rejection

My eight year old self

If she met me

Might not feel pride

But pity

It's been a life filled

Choices not great

Fear, denial

My true fate

Still, I've forever

Kept at my heart

That children

Play great part

Mistakes, I've made tons

Learned from them all

Best people

Those so small

Not complicated

Things when you're small

Magic exists

When you DON'T know it all
