Today is my birthday,

so wish me good cheer

because I have earned

another year.

I know some people

choose to hide away

and refuse to claim

their special day.

How silly can you be

to hesitate?

A birthday is meant

to celebrate.

To say with confidence,

“I have made it this far

complete with stories

and battlefield scars.”

There is only one way

to make those birthdays end

and I for one, I’m not

ready for that end, my friend.
