It's My Birthday and I'll Cry If I Want To

Another year older
but nothing else has changed.

 

I'm still sitting in my room alone
and stuck in this meloncholy mood.

 

This day, the anniversary of my birth,
this so-called time of celebration
has been just miserable.

 

Nothing turned out how I hoped;
every gift proved more trouble
than it was worth.

 

Let me just close my eyes
and sleep through the rest of
this horrible day.
