18 candles on a birthday cake
I
       never
     got.
18 words you could've said to me but
you
   did
  not.

Exactly
18 reasons why I've come
and
   gone.

18 candles burn out and I've
still
  got
my words

that set the whole cake
        on fire.

Hmm, interesting write. Very interesting write. I like it, it's different... but did someone really ignore your b-day?

It is said the Creator has taken a handful of South Wind and given each newborn Arabian the power of flight without wings

This is tragic. I love the style, though.

"Happy eighteenth birthday,
And if you are feeling alone...
I wish blessings upon you,
That you've never known!"

There! That's eighteen words. I remember the questions that came at my eighteenth, too, and hope you will find some encouragement here.
