birthday initial
what does this day mean
life
have lived
time passed
willed to be
heart beats
I did not die
you did not **** me
but now I am different


birthday changed
mourn
the time stolen
people lost
stillborn opportunities
littering the trail
the what ifs that linger
birthday, yes it is different now
that person no longer lives here

flying before running
running before walking
time is different here
