IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN * It's my birthday soon, and just as before, I'm confident as hell, I'll be spending it alone. * As I look around, no friends to be found. Just another year closer, to a hole in the ground! * No one will call, And just like before, I will call them all, And none will be home! * They'll be out having fun Like I used to be doing And all this wasted crying won't be my solution! * I've been out of sight and I'm now out of mind, as I used to have friends around all the time! * I guess I'll just drink this, whole bottle of wine, and toast to myself at least eight more times, * while the Ipod plays, one of my favorite songs. "As Tears Go By" by the Rolling Stones! * I'll eat this whole cake And the ice cream as well And no one will chide me for eating it all! * I'm really depressed. I'm feeling quite shitty! I'm thinking of throwing a Pitty Party! * I'm the guest of honor, so I better get ready. and debate myself for hours on what I should be wearing? * It can't be too complicated when I'm dressing for me, My "Support Mental Health, or I'll Kill you!" T-shirt With the granny panties. * A present to myself Is what I have here! another day practicing solitude, out here in my Tacky Tiki Room * It's my birthday again and in Atlanta, I'm unknown so, I'll just stay home, and write some more poems * I wish I had bought a Plane ticket home So I could be back In Chicago again! * WordPlaya, April 11, 2009 ******************************* AS TEARS GO BY * (One of the most simply constructed songs ever written about depression, and yet, the lyrics pack a punch that is so powerful, it makes me weep) * It is the evening of the day. I sit and watch the children play. Smiling faces I can see, but not for me. I sit and watch as tears go by. * My riches can't buy everything, I want to hear the children sing All I hear is the sound, of rain falling on the ground I sit and watch as tears go by. * It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play doing things I used to do, they think are new, I sit and watch as tears go by. * Jagger - Richards
