New years eve

Severe CW for paternal abuse


New Years Eve

That eve of beginnings new, destroyed by forces old,
called by a name that was not my own,
my inner fortress you've broken an is no more,

The chimes mark the midnight hour,
a new year has begun,
I sit deep into the night, reliving each violation, my screams silent,

New years day dawns, sleep yet eludes,
Scrubbed skin all night, still unclean,
Can my new beginning rise with the new years sun?
