Happy birthday, grey sky
You were always so shy
Unwanting
Unwilling
Just itching to hide

Come on and say hi
Or hang there and cry
Unstable
Unmoving
Receding from life

I cannot say why
You're resting up high
So earnest
So honest
Yet failing to try

Concerned for your pride
With quickness and stride
I'd say you've played safe
If not for the balance
You battle inside
