It feels weird becoming an adult 

Like being launched from a catapult

Over a large distance

Which can’t be turned back by Resistance

So, on my birthday, I didn’t ask for

Gifts or presents; as I’ve had before 

In the past

Just had a simple meal 

Of pizza; a food that’s ideal

A yellow, cheese-filled surface

Stippled with toppings of flavorable purpose

After, there was 

Carrot cake; that withdraws

Everyone, except for me

I don’t think’s it’s very tasty

Despite the yellow, crumbly coloring

With brown, dulce de leche sauce hovering

Over it
