Happy birthday happy birthday
they all sing and cheer
but what happens inside you
is nothing but fear
in an attempt to escape
you smile big and fake
the sooner you thank them
the sooner it will abate

birthdays are suppose to be a happy occasion but it sucks when you have negative people around you and fake peolple around you who act nice for 24 hours or don't even care enough to give you your day to relax
