Happy Birthday

80 17 17
                                    

The not so awaited day has come
The remainder of my birth
Everyone rejoice on this occasion
And here i am devoid of all mirth

What is so special to feel about
Everyone has a Birthday
It comes only once in a year
But so does every other day
How is this a reason to be happy?
For my friends maybe
But for me it's like everyday.

Moreover, how come they are my friends
who remember me only today
They are more like dear acquaintance
Who feel obliged to wish me happy birthday

Kings celebrated their birthdays to bore themselves into their follower(s) mind
Celebrating their years of great reign
And victories of all kind

Then why should I be happy if I cannot remember anything great that I did
But I chose not to ruin fun of my dear ones and I did what they bid

This day is relic of my failures
19 years back on this day I was born
Presented with many opportunities but won only a few to adorn

So for me this day is to celebrate
Celebrate all falls
Pondering over all the fails
Embossing the lessons on brain walls

The day to promise myself that the next time when I will meet this date
I will have proven my worthiness to the world and then only i will celebrate.
