I love this poem! its fantastic. I really like the way you have written it without a definite format, more like it was a casual convesation or a flow of thought as opposed to groups of rhyming couplets or something. while the ending was bittersweet, i think that it was very fitting, and i liked too the way you described the inner child as a messy little person full of energy.
I really like this poem. It's so good. I can't see any way to improve it. Well done and keep writing.

That's how we should measure our lives. Not in distance traveled, or time passed, or worlds conquered, but in moments... and the rush of joy—of grace—that exists within them. — Megatron (Lost Light, by Roberts, Lawrence, Lafuente)
