Another Year of Mistakes
A birthday.
A day of celebrating another year of your life.
I’m not celebrating though.
I’m upset I made it another year.
This isn’t how I planned it.
Why am I forced to live another year repeating the same cycle.
Over and over.
A birthday, for me.
Isn’t a matter of celebrating.
