My inner child opens the little red door

My inner child opens the little red door

Please excuse the cliche

The inner child in me

Grew curious and curiouser

I stood on the steps

I took a sip of elderberry fizzy water

I was nosey and curious

Amazingly I shrunk to the size of the door

I had no option but to open the door

I remembered it was my child inner self

I saw cakes and buns on the shelves

Lemonade on the table

The table laid with sweets cakes

A bed and a chair

This tree house

Belonged to someone

Somewhere

It was decorated beautifully

There was winding stairs

That just carried on

I lost count of the number of floors

Each one had a different bright coloured door

I began to grow

I just managed to get out of the door

I started to grow back to size

As I grew I lost a little bit of my inner child inside

I said goodbye to my inner child

My inner child

Now long gone
