That big day is here
The day some dread
And the young rejoice.
24 years ago
I came screaming into the world
A reason to wake up
For the one who was bored.
(Love ya, mom!)
Happiness became fear
Once the fragility of life was revealed-
A hidden monster tried to snuff out this young life.
All those years ran away
When innocence turned into maturity.
Present moments, flashes in time
Memories cherished regardless
Of circumstantial results.
This day begins the next year
Of a life long past expiration-
May it be a decent as the last!
