POETRY

BIRTHDAY

by Dan Diaz.©2001

Another year just came and went.
Another birthday very well spent.
I don't mind being another day older.
I'm wiser, more confident, and bolder, and bolder.
I'm not as young, but never fear
because yesterday is no longer here.
The previous years have said goodbye
and where did they go? And how? And why?
In the past I was very young.
Not to mention incredibly dumb.
I didn't know what I wanted in life.
A lesser person would slit their wrist with a knife.
But not me, I'm better than that.
I've got the will to fight like a cat.
I think I've finally got it together.
I'm not getting older, I'm just getting better.
