Christmas Dread

Christmas

by Cecilia A Heiskary

Christmas is not my favorite time of year
Hauntings of past childhood trauma
Remembering days gone by
I want to go to sleep until Jan. 1
Sometimes I'm okay at this time of year
Trauma took my joy away for Christmas
Maybe next year will be better
All of my life I curl into a ball 
Sadness haunts me and my memoris




I do not like this time of year. Childhood trauma happened on Christmas day when I was 9 or 10. Perhaps I will write an essay one day. I did enter the contest for sacrifice your autobiography. It's raw and tells the trauma and how my life spiraled out of control.

Thanks for the read even though it's depressing.
Pays 8 points and 92 member cents (and maybe more).
