tomorrow's my birthday
the day i more or less have been waiting for 
and yet
i don't seem to care anymore

why celebrate something 
that comes every year

i guess it's monumental
i'll be of legal age

i can drink... in mexico
i can sign up for dating apps
i can vote

but

why celebrate something 
that comes every year

i am working after all 
and the day after that
my feet already ache 
i can barely stay afloat 
and apparently i'm being missed???

so
why celebrate something
that comes every year
