My Birthday

(I made this when it was actually my birthday)


Im outside

It’s warm

The sun is shining

and I'm swinging


The wind is blowing

the trees sound nice

The clouds are puffy

The sky is blue.


Its my birthday

Nature is perfect

I feel perfect

Everything is perfect...

BIRTHDAY

TODAY IS MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY



Is it bad I’m anxious

About my birthday

About the weight

And everything else


ANYWAYS ITS MY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYHH...

The Birthday

It’s my birthday

Today I am eighteen

I don’t feel eighteen

I feel eighty

Today I’m officially an adult

But I’ve been an adult since I learned to walk

I never had a caregiver

Someone to make the decisions for me

I was the one who held your hair when you were hungover and vomiting in the toilet

I was the one who carried narcan in case you overdosed

I was the one who took care of kid after kid you ha...

The Birthday Alone

It’s my birthday,

And my parents are in Mexico

Having the time of their life

With their work friends.


My brothers

Are with their friends,

Drinking and partying

Not caring to spend time with me.



And my friends

Are being mean

And sending me hateful texts,

Not caring that it’s my special day.


Which leaves me

Feeling alone and gloomy

In my empty bedroom.


But then

My phone dings.

It’s mycouch...

My Version Of A Shit Show

(Hope you have a great day!)


I hate my

Birthday.

Something

Always goes wrong.

Tears, sprained ankle,

So much more.

It feels stupid.

Yay! I’m

One year

Closer to death!!!

I love celebrating,

Just not

My birthday.

Unlike when I

Was a young child,

Birthdays are just

Like every other day.

Nothing special

Besides opening presents.

Just another useless day.

I hate my

Birthday....

Birthday

I hate my birthday

Everyone does what they want

But what about me?

It’s fine

Nothings ever about me…...

My Birthday Haikus! :D

Today marks my birth,

Another step in my life,

A day to celebrate!


Making wishes to,

Last another lengthy year,

Feeling so, so great!


It arrived so quick,

But I hope time will slow down,

To wish happiness,


And let me breathe in,

The soothing aroma of,

Vibrant joyousness!

(Today’s my birthday! (Obviously lol))...

Bittersweet Birthdays

Time is running like a river

But I’m still stuck at The same old train station

Where you left me to whither

While I fought the complications


Year by year you grow older

And every year you watch as the colours drain

Wish things where the same

How we used to dance in the rain


Sweet Suger blisses Strawberry kisses

Is all we used to know

Halloween and witches Blowing birthday wishes

Smiles...

birthday

i don’t know

why i celebrate

a birthday of mine:

for it is

a year closer to

my imminent doom

so really isn’t it

just a celebration of

“yay, i haven’t died yet”?

i guess so...
