A new birthday should be a celebration
Of life , of dreams, of achievements
Of love, of friendship,
Of setting new goals, of development
Of consolidation, of new adventures.
So why do I feel so empty,
So uninterested, so lost,
So afraid, so anxious, so worried,
So depressed, so strained?
What stops me to be happy?
After all I'm alive,
It's a selfish consideration
So many have not made it.
So every year becomes a bonus
Each day to be greeted as an opportunity
Leave the mundane world to itself.
Enjoy the dawn, be it bright or grey,
Windy and wet, hot or cold,
Find its beauty , feel excited,
Banish boredom in limbo
And collect the rewards
Enjoy the ones that share my days
They add so much vibrancy
Do not take them for granted.
