Warnings: Low self-esteem/self-hate
I have a secret habit that
I thought you ought to know
It's simple and it's silly but
It started long ago
Each year upon my birthday I
Wait up as others sleep
Watching as the time ticks by
Without a single peep
Until at last the clock hits twelve
And it is the next day
"Happy not birthday" I wish
The only thing I say
Maybe you can't understand
Or you cannot relate
To knowing that you're special but
For just a single date
And so I celebrate myself
Where nobody can see
Fearing, thinking, knowing that
No one likes me for me
