New Year's Eve

REJOICE

He said YES

His eyes reflected believe,

"Yes, you can go"

My father understood me

I love him and he loves me too.

"Be by nine" he added 

I grinned, overwhelmed,

A fifteen aged girl could party,

this New Year's Eve.

BLITHE

They dance, they eat,

They enjoy this time

Then I know the meaning 

"Last day of Year, 

welcome of new life"

They wait till twelve 

But I had to leave by nine.

ALONE

Hurry..its already ten.…

The roads are barren, 

This solitude is a bliss.

There is faint hooting and howling,

But the cold breeze,

with loneliness soothes

Why can't I enjoy every eve.

FEAR

I hear the bottles rumbling

Some men are behind me

Are they following me?

They giggle and guffaw,

I hear and fear them.

I sweat, I want to scream

The road is lone, dark and still.

PAIN

Someone grabs my wrist 

Someone pulls my hair,

They lay me on the road, bare

I feel the pain rising

I cry I scream, I resist,

The wild has found its prey.

They bite, they scratch 

Their eyes red, and mind black.

NOTHING 

I feel nothing

The winds don't impinge me

And I lay bare like a broken doll

Stained in blood and sweat,

Waiting to greet this world

'Good bye'

And "Happy New Year".
