That one time in the world you feel on top
The one day you don't have to feel defeated or worry about anything
As the love and wishes keep pouring
That one time you finally get to be a child again
Relive the best memories
But sadly
It isn't always so
The time comes when you fear the day
It becomes a year's worth of responsibility added to your shoulders
Becomes your reason to adjust and accept maturity
Replaces your utopian child world with the dystopian one of an adult
Forces you to make decisions, which might make or probably break you
Though it might not always be the perfect scenario
Where you're surrounded by friends, with cakes beautifully lit with flaming candles awaiting your soft gentle breath and wishes.
Might even make your expectations a chimera
But still
It's one day you'd still look forward to
That glimmer of hope
You can still do better
Your birthday...
