It used to be so thrilling every birthday, To realize all I had ahead of me, But soon excitement faded away, And I didn’t want another. My friends are eclectic, And more flakey than I, So parties do not tend to work, Just RSVP no. My family’s a mess, Most just straight up don’t care, The ones that did love me Are no longer there. It’s a lonely existence, Feeling the space between us, Wishing I could rewind or fast forward, And we could once again be us.
