A dark room Hiding in the corner Barely singing a song Whispering the words "Happy birthday-" Choking back tears holding arms to chest "-to me." Letting out a cry "Happy birthday-" Thinking about people the ones downstairs laughing. "-to me." Celebrating since they won't. "Happy birthday-" At least it'll be sung with the right name. "-dear Cole." Tears stream down Quickly wipe them away "Happy birthday-" Jumping, hearing a door slam in the house "-to me." Laying down Rocking back and forth. I open my eyes. My birthday again. Is it really two years later? Fake birthday wishes sent. At least this year I won't be alone. -Cnwlry

Happy Birthday
A dark room Hiding in the corner Barely singing a song Whispering the words "Happy birthday-" Choking back tears holding arms to chest "-to me." Letting out a cry "Happy birthday-" Thinking about people the ones downstairs laughing. "-to me." Celebrating since they won't. "Happy birthday-" At least it'll be sung with the right name. "-dear Cole." Tears stream down Quickly wipe them away "Happy birthday-" Jumping, hearing a door slam in the house "-to me." Laying down Rocking back and forth. I open my eyes. My birthday again. Is it really two years later? Fake birthday wishes sent. At least this year I won't be alone. -Cnwlry
