I should be celebrating, blowing out candles,
But instead, I’m lost in emotional scandals.
It’s my birthday, but I’m not happy,
Another year older, yet feeling crappy.

I might have got everything, all that I need,
But there’s still a feeling that won’t recede.
There’s a hole in my heart that won’t be filled,
And my special day is just another day fulfilled.

I smile and pretend, put on a happy face,
But inside, I’m struggling to find my place.
In a world that’s moving too fast for me,
I wish I could slow down and just be.

Maybe it’s just the passing of time,
That reminds me of all that I’ve left behind.
Or maybe it’s just my identity,
Which I abandoned for somebody.

But even in this melancholic state,
I’m grateful for the love that surrounds my fate.
I know that one day I’ll find my way,
And this day may again be a cause for the greatest sway.
