Birthday Blues- POEM

 

Another year

getting older

and it feels

bleak,

I'm happy,

but scared

I should be happy,

I am,

but another year,

coming,

and going,

in a blink of an eye

A cake for me,

yet,

I feel down,

maybe being another year older,

gets to me,

but it's my day

a day to celebrate,

and do what I want

Christmas is coming,

as well as my birthday,

a day,

I should be happy,

and yet,

I still feel down

Maybe with it,

having Christmas coming close,

is another reason,

I'm overshadowed,

by a holiday,

not a bad thing,

but at youth,

I hated my birthday

My birthday,

then Christmas,

all wrapped up in a bow,

that's my birthday blues,

with my birthday,

close to Christmas,

good,

or bad

This Birthday,

won't make me feel blue,

close to a holiday,

every year,

no shock,

the holidays,

makes us happy and sad,

but with a birthday close,

double whammy,

Happy Birthday to me
