It’s World Poetry Day today, so I wrote a poem.

Rare compliment

It takes a lot to get a compliment from people

Whatever I do, they are silent

I don’t wait for one

I’m not trying to embiggen the problem

Even a rare compliment would be nice

I don’t care though

I function without one

Rare compliment I get, but I take it

It’s your birthday they say

Today it’s my birthday (and Wentworth Miller) It’s also the 1st time my mother is not around. Birthdays doesn’t mean that much to me. It was different when I was a kid. Presents and that stuff. Today birthdays are just one step closer to death. Even if it’s at least 40 years left of my life. Age is nothing but a number anyway. A lot of people are afraid to get old but not to me. We are meant to get old. No one lives forever. It’s not what age you are, it’s about what age you feel.

For me, my birthday is just going out to lunch (like me and dad did today) and that’s about it. Besides I hate parties anyway so I don’t need that.
