Make a Wish
A day we all look forward to growing up
A day surrounded by love and cake
Is now replaced with hate
A day I no longer care for
A day I wish I wasn’t the fastest swimmer
Which is crazy because suddenly I can’t swim anymore
Every year something goes wrong
That reminds me what’s the point
This is just a normal day
Just wake up thank God for life and move on
When I was younger I felt bad for people that don’t celebrate their birthdays
But now I understand
I’m one of those people now
If younger me saw me now
She wouldn’t recognize herself
She would be sad at the sight
I’m not just older
I’m sadder than I was as a child
