As the sun rises And the day begins, I dread all the surprises That my friends bring in. Birthdays aren�t that appealing to me, My friends make a big deal out of it. But all I really want is for them to leave me be. As the day drags out I begin to put. I want to take cover And crawl away till the days over. I run away and hide As my friends set up for my big birthday bash, I try to save my pride, But they always hit me with surprises in a flash. My birthday is just another day to me, But to others, I guess it�s a big day to come and be. As for me, I wouldn�t even bother. As the sun sets and the moon awakes, Darkness fills my room and waits. Waits for me to come and turn on the light, But only I don�t, because it�s too bright. I lay in my bed and think about the day, �It wasn�t so bad�,� I say to myself as into the night I fade away.
