Today is my birthday.


No cake. No candies.
No balloons. No gifts.

Today I reflect on the life I've had and the life ahead.

Today is my birthday.

But you wouldn't know it if you came here.

I'm surrounded -and alone
Outside my room I'm the outgoing kid they raised and everything is fine
Inside -----I've been crying since last night

Today is my birthday.

But all I see is the tragic circle of life that I've inherited with no savior in sight.

No, not even Jesus Christ

It's my birthday.....
