Birthday Blues

When I was a child my birthdays came As seldom near as never. While now it seems they’ve speeded up And are coming at me ever. I’m sorry to be such a jerk; I really need your shoulder. I’m bummed each birthday when it comes Will find me one year older.

not until your dead than dead will they stop happening. the more you know about the future the faster it comes. first we have days. then we have weeks, then we have months and years. it's now time to look for a decade and thats time to wait for.
