My Birthday!!

A not-so-good Birthday!!

I look forward to the day
Not just any other day
It's my BIRTHDAY!!
A day to feel free
A day to enjoy being me
A day it's me that everybody sees
I think of balloons and cake
I think of the cookies that my mom will bake
I think about the flavour of the milkshakes
And I drift into the arms of sleep
And allow all the nightmares to creep
And start counting my way to the 100th sheep

But what happens??
My friends forget my birthday
My mum wakes me angrily on the day
Nobody cares what I gotta say
It's something that ruined my plans
And I decided that I don't give a damn
I took my usual corner with paper and pen
And wrote down my thoughts
About the gifts my friends would've bought
And what I actually sought

At night...
The mood didn't improve at all
And I felt as if I'm still in the middle of a fall
All this made me feel very small
I was about to wet my eyes
When suddenly Mom bustled inside
I knew, she should not see me crying
I saced my way to the nearest sink
And didn't care what my Dad would think
Just tried my best to wash the tears away in a blink
I tilt my head above; the tears fall away
A weak smile crosses over my face
and I finally wish myself...Happy Birthday!!

Author's Note

(Fine! I was not in a good mood when I thought over this.I actually thought the last three lines and made everything else up right now.You guesses right.One more of my instant poems.And it's not the way my birthday went.Not at all.I cried a bit, but that was about something else.More like the pain in my legs.It was unbearable.Other than that, it's imaginary to some extent.A bit of fictional auto-biography you can say. Hope you like it.I tried a new form of a rhyme scheme.)

You very well dwelled your emotions in this writing. As i went on reading, a few past years came flying in my thoughts. I really was touched by these particular lines :
" My friends forget my birthday

and I finally wish myself...Happy Birthday!! "

Glad your poem did not reflect your actual birthday. Makes me sad when others forget one another's birthdays. Me personally though, I for some reason don't like my birthday. Don't like people knowing when it is or anything. What happened was I thought of it in its most basic form, and it grossed me out to such an extent the day held no appeal for me anymore lol. Happy belated birthday.
