Waking up to voices
cheerful as can be
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLIN!"
were the words directed to me
hugging my two cousins
thinking its a good day
for its my 13th year to live
glad i had planned to stay
walking up the stairs
with baby Vanessa by my side
smelling the sweet aroma
that was coming from outside
birthday music playing
with cheerful hums from my aunt
as she turns around and sees me
and says her cheerful birthday chant
the day seemed to pass by smooth
nothing could go wrong
no pain was seen upon my face
for i had left it where it belonged
my other two cousins and uncle
where at work for the day
but they plan to come home early
for my big special day
the sun now going down
and everyone is here
dancing smiling and laughter
where all the things you could see and hear
but not a moment to later
a fight had broke out
between my aunt and cousin Jayson
something i could have gone without
he left me there after the fight
without even a happy birthday
left the room silent and awkward
there was nothing no one could say
not later after that
the awkwardness had be broken
my other cousin Jeremy walked out
and still no words had been spoken
tears of rage streaming down her face
as Vanessa starts to cry
was this really happening?
my uncle stomps off without saying goodbye
my cake not even touched
no gifts where handed out
i swear this was all i bad dream
as i just wanted to pout
my aunt tried to make it better
acting as if nothing went on
i did not want to be mean
so i just gave a big yawn
my special day now ruined
my teen year i know shall now be bad
as i flopped on the bed
and let out all the pain i had
*OK.. i didn't know how to end this.. but this is a true story.. the fight that had went on was bad.. and ruined my big teen birthday..*
