A/N: Poem about new beginnings. Draco/Ron. Draco's POV

Redemption
New beginnings, starting over
A clean slate, a blank page
I have erased the scars of yesterday
I have escaped the marks that were left behind
Pure white, alabaster, porcelain
Clean, unmarred, fragile
The past is where it should be
Forgotten behind me, lost along the way
I am new, I am reborn
I walk along without baggage
Without a history
Praying to be accepted as I am
An empty vessel, drained of a vile and rancid concoction
Without prejudices, without hate
I stand before you, open to your inspection
I have redeemed my soul
I have climbed from the depths of Hell
But am I redeemed in your eyes?
I have left my past behind, but have you
I can only hope that you have
