Birthdays
Birthdays Birthdays
So much fun
Here to bring joy
To the one
The one who was birthed
On this day
Yes let's go and celebrate
I'm on my way
Oh here I come
I'm bringing balloons
So we'll have fun
I know you're sick
So very ill
Hooked to machines
So Death can't kill
Almost there
I'll be there soon
I'll sing you the
Happy birthday tune
I walk through
These shining halls
Nurses and doctors
Parading along
I found your room
But yet you see
Nurses and doctors
Scrambling
It seems that I'm
Too late you see
Time is a race
And Death beat me
I say goodbye
Now lifeless and dull
I walk out
With no one to hold
These dumb balloons
Hold down my soul
I throw them out
My heart feels cold
I hate birthdays
It made her old
This was the day
That she grew old
On this day
Death has stole
My only love
Who made me whole
I hate this day
It stole my mom.

I got inspiration for this poem from a photo prompt of a trashcan full of balloons.
