Birthday
Before, I remember those lonely birthdays
When the clock struck midnight, no one to call
No messages, no cards, no well-wishes at all
Just the sound of silence echoing in my heart
I used to dread the arrival of my special day
It felt more like a burden, a reminder of my solitude
I would try to distract myself, to ignore the emptiness
But it was always there, lurking in the shadows
I would go to bed early on my birthday
To escape the pain, the disappointment of another year
Passing by without anyone to celebrate with me
Alone in the darkness, feeling the weight of my loneliness
But now, things have changed
I have people in my life who care
Who make me feel special, who value my presence
Who go out of their way to celebrate me on my birthday
Now, I look forward to my special day
I know it will be filled with love, laughter, and joy
I no longer fear the loneliness, the sadness that used to accompany it
Because now I am surrounded by people who make me feel loved
I don't need those who only show off their affection
I don't need empty gestures, shallow words
I want genuine love, true connections
From those who truly value me for who I am
So on my birthday now, I embrace the happiness
I bask in the warmth of the love that surrounds me
I feel grateful for the people who make me feel special
And I celebrate another year of life with joy in my heart
No more early bedtimes to escape the pain
No more tears shed in the darkness of my room
I am no longer alone on my birthday
I am no longer forgotten, no longer unloved
I am cherished, I am valued, I am celebrated
And for that, I am grateful
For the people who have brought light into my life
And made my birthday a day to remember forever.
