Awakens full of anticipation, Along with a little trepidation. Waiting for excitement in the mail. Disappointing vigil for no avail. Working quietly through the day, Eager to put the mundane away; For the evening will surely bring some joy. Not for this one lonely boy Night closes in, the daylight ends. Still no sign of any friends. So he drinks to himself at home, A downhearted toast made on his own An opportunity for celebration Turned into silent contemplation. The occasion of this one special day Passes unnoticed in every way. This was inspired by my rather uneventful birthday yesterday (which I am confining to history). I hasten to add it wasnt quite as bad as this piece portrays, but the sentiments were the same. If it hadnt been for the posts on this board then it might have been though! |

Kevin!!! Happy Belated Birthday! This kind of thing breaks my heart! Although it wasn't as bad as you've written, it's still a depressing thought. I hope that, perhaps, today will make up for it! Oh, and by the way, I enjoyed your poem!  Sheila |

I also want to add... Happy Belated Birthday! Very good write here. Sorry it was under not so good times. But at least you made it through the lonely night. Peace to you DkW No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |

Thankyou for the belated birthday wishes. Sometimes it takes a less than perfect situation to inspire me to write good pieces. It seems that I am only writing if I am in love or unhappy. I know I will be writing for the right one of these reasons soon enough. If from the dispair of a day comes a good piece of writing then the day was not wasted. The poem written meant the day was productive.  Kevin |

Kevin...boy, don't I know from whence you speak? I have had so many of those days...not only b'days, but others as well. At least you have a good attitude about it. Nothing is so bad that it can't serve some purpose...even if it is only a good example of a bad day. Well put!! Hardrock |

A belated happy Birthday from me too!! It is sad when your special day goes virtually unnoticed. It does seem to more and more as the years go by. I have been let down on b'days and Christmas too. But like said above you have and must always make the best out of it. No matter what there is always something to be grateful for in life. I'm glad you saw that and moved on. More power to you hon..

Funny you can write something and look at it and say "it wasn't that bad " but it comes out in your poetry so strong. I enjoyed your poem alot.Welcome and Happy Birthday. Better late then never Suzanne |

Kevin....I had to catch my breath as I finished reading this. You know sometimes you read a poem and you just know it is not merely a "good work" to you, but rather a connection with the writer! Well you have captured a lot of people's lonliness and search to end it, including mine. You put raw emotions down on paper so well. Thank you....I was touched by it. Happy Birthday by the way, even if it is belated! |
