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.
