Happy Birthday to me

Shiny things
Second guesses
Sweeping under the rug
Mopping up the messes
Comfy chair
Greying hair

Fresh start doesn't feel that new
33 years would do that to you.

General Sadness

Sadness as old as time
Forgotten reason or rhyme

Lodged deep inside the bones
On the surface, hollow moans

Growing not of hurt,
heartbreak or distance

Just a reminder of existence.
