You can be very wild and still be very wise.<br /> - Yoko Ono



Maybe I should be sad on tiptoe

Feel all my thoughts in silence

Never leave any evidence

If I fall-

Don’t wanna bring you with me

Don’t wanna hurt you through me

But, is it wrong if on my birthday cake 🧁

I blow on the candles, eyes closed

Can’t help wishing someone was here

To listen sincerely, help me believe

Because sometimes it’s just hard

Even to know how to live, be alive

 


Whispers all over saying,

 


“Hey, it’s me.”

 

 

Would you hold my hand?

My whole world in your palm,

Because I would trust -


Don’t want to be a broken burden, just want to be loved.

 


Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday…

 


Cupcakes, Chocolate or Vanilla cake

Always, my vow remains the same.

My everyday birthday.

That’s how it is.

I read this over so many times because that is how much I loved it. I relate to it a lot and you wrote it in such an amazing way.
