Happy Birthday to Me

Happy birthday to me

Another year of joy and fun

My wish? They come faster

I'm ready. Life has just begun.

That's what you wanted to hear, right?

Of course. You don't want to hear my dread

If you want to know the truth of me

Have a look inside my head:

Happy birthday to me, idiot

Another year closer to death

My wish? They just stop coming

I'm ready for that final breath.

I hope you enjoy this quick little piece before my main entry tonight. A simple concept - a birthday wish - yet there's more than meets the eye. Often birthdays bring joy and happiness, but to others they are quite the opposite. Existential crisis, anyone? Sometimes birthdays are hard. Be kind and understanding for all. And if today is your birthday, I'm wishing it's the best 😊
