I've always hated my birthday
Yeah, I'm reaaally tipsy
And you know what?
That's alright.
That's perfectly fine.
'Cause I've got all these scars
Which I can't stop
Re-examining
Over and over again
It's routine to me, by now
This is less polished than the other poems
Maybe cause I don't even bother
With re-reading this piece
I want it to be brash
Honest
Just like me
All tears,
Jagged edges
Hurt and pain
All over
Just like me
I hate the sound of silence
So I've got music blasting
Away on earphones
(Makes it a little easier
to welcome the light
in the morning)
But
That's all cool
That's perfect
I am going to be fine
A year less to live
But it's alright
Let's raise a toast to that
