Happy Birthday?

Dear Birthday Girl,

Everyone is so excited 
everyone is planning 
everyone is getting ready
Everyone is waiting
Waiting for you to come.

But do you want to come?
do you actually want to go to your party? 
do you want everyone to see you?
Do you really want to celebrate?
Celebrate what?

It is wrong to celebrate the accomplishments 
it is wrong to celebrate the milestones 
it is wrong to celebrate this new age 
It is wrong to celebrate this day
This day that is full of sadness.

I will always remember the sun shining 
i will always remember the leaves falling 
i will always remember the grass swaying
I will always remember the white car
The white car that lost control.

It stopped at our car 
it stopped at the left side 
it stopped at Mom's seat 
It stopped Mom's heartbeat.
