Walking past the places that seemed so familiar
To a world that makes no sense
I hear "I only want to make you happy"
Though none of that is true
I live on
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Sometimes I can't even be happy on my birthday
One fight after another
I await calls that never come
People that never show up at the door
Through all of this is stress
I move on
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Staring out the window hoping for--for--
I'm not sure, but I'm sure I'll know it when I see it
I look out into the woods for a reflective sound of myself maybe talking or laughing
In my head I drive myself crazy
Through the raving madness
I walk on
Happy Birthday
Dear Ladycat
Tonight I will sleep with
Sleep with the though that I made it
Through it all
I made it
I'm one year older and one year wiser
Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!

Love,
Ladycat

*My Birthday was April 2nd and I enjoyed it.  This was the piece that I wrote to make myself feel better on my special day.  I hope that you all write pieces on your special day that make you feel good too. I love you all!*

Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured.

Wow, I see other people get introspective on their birthday, too. What a good idea, to write yourself a poem. I always do one for my family, not for me.
Happy birthday all year!

Happy "belated" birthday Ladycat!
I hope it was a good day for you, and if it wasn't there is always next year!

Birthday wishes are very magic...
for they are made of stardust and a special kind of wonder.
Wishing you the 'glistening things',
-moonbeams, starlight, and fireflies' wings.....
Happy Belated Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Ladycat



Thanks for sharing your poem and your birthday with us.
Mine is coming this Saturday, and I have been working on a poem for it, but for some reason I've been having writers block on that one....I seem to be able to write about everything else...but I've never written a birthday poem for myself before...
Maybe this should be made into a challenge and we should all write ourselves birthday poems.....what do you think about that?

Thank you thank you all so much for all of the love and support that you give me through everything that I go through.  Sometimes I wonder if I would have made it without you.  Your poetry has made me laugh, cry and helped me through all the hard times.  It has been the greatest.  This birthday was not just about me it was about everyone that I love and care about and that would mean all of you too.

Thank you!!!!
