Birthday

Today, oh, today
Today is the day
Fifteen years
Somehow I found my way

So much has happened
In so short a time
I have so many memories
So many things that were sublime

The many dreams never followed
The things that were washed away
The forgotten friends, long since seen
The many feelings always kept at bay

Fighting, screaming, yelling, hurting
Skipping, smiling, happiness
Parties, groups, gatherings
Separation, isolation, loneliness

Many kisses
Many hugs
Many scars
Many slugs

Through the years every feeling
But today, oh, today
Today is my day
Nothing can stand in my way
