so here it is, another birthday again
i've gained so much in my twenty-six years
but i can't believe how much i've lost
i once had it all, i once had me
my mother gave me everything
i was not without
i found the art and way `o' life
poetry
i've lived the life of a poet
it hurts many times
i've seen my words grace published news stand compilations
i've seen my words change the live's of people
some have been good, some have been bad
i sit here alone for another day
i try not to worry again
i try so very hard to make sense of this place
and i want to cry
its easier now to write because tears don't stain the page
but its also a little too easy
nevermind not being able to see tears in the rain
you can only taste that
but pictures drawn within words are harder to come by
somehow i've come together, and been ripped apart
i guess this is a happy birthday
