I wanted everything
The hype, the attention, the joy
That comes from making such a big deal
Out of a simple day

I would watch as fuss was made
Over everyone else but
Lonely I would look at how happy
Everyone else was and how I would be
If I had what they had

Than I started
Looking at what I have
And I saw
I don't have what they have
What I have
Is even better
This poem was inspired by my last birthday when I let go of wanting or expecting anything big or wonderful to happen, but a number of little things pulled together to make a really fabulous day.
