Writing Prompt

You promised I’d never have to be alone again.

You told me you’d come.

You told me you were excited.

You told me I was your best friend

And you’d never ditch me.

Quite ironic, isn’t it?

You never even came.

You posted pictures of you with everyone we invited.

We made a list of people invited to invite together!

You were with _every single one of them_.

You lied to me.

You ever said you ...

Again a year passed

With change in my bones.

I’ve grown, but I’ve fallen—

Time seems to tick me down,

Flashing me with passing seasons

And small moments I wish to hold.

I don’t want to grow older…I hate the change it brings.

Can’t I stay this young?

Every minutes that passes, I wish to keep.

But I’m old enough to know I can never stop Time.

Happy birthday to me....

**Another year around the sun,**

**for me, a journey’s far from fun.**

**The candles flicker, the faces cheer,**

**Yet inside, drowning in fear.**

**Three hundred sixty-five days, a feat,**

**A race I ran with weary feet.**

**They call it triumph, a battle won,**

**I wonder softly, a look of stun**

**An angel descended, soft and bright,**

**Her presence casting a gentle light.**

**I whispered lo...

this day is solely mine, as I have given it worth

we celebrate as I move with the earth

Im given gifts that are extremely diverse

I begin to tear up and my vision blurs...

I had a long life

It could be for others a short life

My wrinkles are only like expressions

My face does not cause the same impression

I had a short life

Others would call it a long life

I heard a young man who got a mansion

I heard a young man who got in prison

I have a short life

I pick up the lines

I eat up my time

They say you’re growing

You’re a teen with your headphones and no...

Happy birthday to me

I’m finally 15

Yay!

I guess

At least I can get

My permit

And I got books

Books galore

What I really want

Though

Is a nice sweet kiss

On the hand

From the girl I love

Most

Of course

That’s asking for too much

So,

Happy Birthday to Me

And thank you all

For being you and putting up with me

That’s all

I’m thankful

No fluffy words

Or words that will give you tears

I’l...

Birthdays

and of change

My birthday

A reminder I have no friends

And nothing but loose ends

A birthday

A celebration

But I didnt send invitations

Birthdays

A push into a new beginning

a pull from a distancing past

My birthday

I downplayed it

and now i feel so deflated

A birthday

Semms big to some

But it feels so small

Everyday is someone’s birthday

The next random Tuesday on your calander makes people think of someone

Maybe someone who has exited their life

Still walking the earth, but not intersecting in your spaces over the year

The next time you’re on your couch on a Friday night, someone is living their best life on birthday night

Connecting friends from different circles of life

Holding them hostage with ...

The world is so bright

No blights, no fights

Nothing misplaced, everything is great

Running down slides

Making mud pies

Digging for the worms

Catching all the germs

Talking was tough, never hung out much

Friends were not my forte

But nature was my main play

Building out of sticks and bricks

Keeping myself occu...
