What a Birthday Is
You speak yelling
What’s a birthday?
But a cake and candles
You ridicule it heartlessly
You don’t understand
You never did truly appreciate
What we did
You hurt us
You did hurt us
With your thrashing words
With your careless thoughts
I thought a birthday
Is not that at all
It is the moment shared by many
For that person
It is the pleasure tasted by family
For that person
For only that person
I thought again
I await that moment each year
Knowing there is my family
Celebrating that moment for me
Blowing the candles
Making a wish
Closing my eyes with admire
It was all created joy
It was all a living episode of life
It connected laughs
Pictured smiles
Made a difference
But now
That I know there’s no one
There’s no reunion
No joined hearts and blissful souls
No treasured times
Or valued hours
So that it leaves me
To forget
What a birthday is…
