birthday candle
noelle Sep 2020
it’s my birthday tomorrow.
why am I celebrating my life
when I don’t want one anymore?

this feels like just another dreadful day.
i stare at my birthday candle
in a longing daze.

everyone asks what my wish was,
but if i tell them
it won’t come true.

i wished for it to appear as an accident;
like it was not my precise intention.

— The End —
