Every time another candle
Was added to the cake
She made a wish
When she was 10 she wished for a puppy
When she was 11 she wished for a new bike
When she was 12 she wished for a more makeup
When she was 13 she wished for a boyfriend
When she was 14 she wished to be loved
When she was 15 she wished to feel
When she was 16 she wished to be dead
None of her wishes came true
Until she realized on her 16th birthday
That for the very first time
She didn't need to wish
As she stood on the roof of the building
Tears crawling down her face
Sobs escaping her voice
She whispered under her breathe
“happy birthday”
And let the darkness finally pull her away
