Poem – No Relationships Safe Enough
~ By Lilly Hope Lucario
.
Vulnerable and fragile
Unsafe and scared
Residing in emotions
My inner child endures
.
No-one safe enough
So she stays withdrawn
Fearful of being hurt
All her wounds still raw
.
Everyone will hurt her
She knows not to trust
Any hint of danger
She runs and hides
.
She has never been safe
My hurt little girl
Terrified of ‘big people’
Who make her cry
.
Vulnerable and needy
Always searching
For family to protect her
Searching painfully, futile
.
Always unsafe, scared
My abandoned little girl
Her wounds still open
Too many ‘bad people’
.
Hiding deep within me
Unable to feel secure
No relationship safe enough
Her fears and tears, endure.
.

hi yr poem hits to the core. I hav a daily struggle n don’t understand myself or my feeling n thinking. I hav 2 children who I struggle with each day, im so far from being a mum but we help each other somehow. Yr poem is very real. That’s how yr inner child feels -what hope hav I with mine! I didn’t protect her

This hits so many chords with me. Really tired of these unsafe feelings. Not understanding if it’s me that feels chronically unsafe, or if the people around me are truly unsafe. I want to be brave, but i really want to assume the fetal position too.
