Blow Out The Candles

Blow out the candles

First year alive and my face is submerged in cake

It was a superbowl party, I swear I still have frosting on my face!


Blow out the candles

Turning seven at a bowling alley sounded fun

Until we got snowed in, then I just wanted it to be done


Blow out the candles

Eight and nine sounded like they'd be fine

Until one kid showed up, as if RSVPing was a crime


Blow out the candles

Sweet sixteen and I feel like a flower that will wilt

Everyone forgot, so I brought in cake to make them eat their guilt


Blow out the candles

After a decade of having birthdays

Finally I have a good one, and I have hope that future ones will be okay
