what’s in a birthday?
can’t see why it ’s a special day
not much different from any other

what if I don’t celebrate?
I could choose some other date
celebrate on any day but why bother

who would mind?
I really didn’t think she ‘d mind
I ‘ve always told her I ‘d pick another

why would she cry?
this birthday is selfishly mine
this birthday I ‘d like to smother

there’s no other way you know
if you want to move forward
you have to push yourself to the edge
but in that way you will walk alone
that is the real sacrifice
it’s not enough to forge yourself with a sledge

a sledge that comes in different forms
be it death, be it life, be it experience
you have to control yourself before it exits
sometimes you have to deviate from norms
for in order to become better
you need to push yourself to the limits

there’s no school to teach you life
you usually learn this the hard way
though you always hear the elders say
that’s entirely your own personal strife

there’s no feeling to teach you sanity
feelings keep you from being rational
feelings turn you dysfunctional
and you are losing touch with reality

there’s no life to teach you death
it’s something you learn to get by
you just accept that we will all die
and maybe understand it after your last breath

time is moving fast
things are running slow
the moments you want to last
they ‘re gone before you know

in case you decide to follow time
stop for a while and look behind
don’t forget how to live along the line
time for everything you ‘ll never find

stop wasting your life and live
you ‘ve taken your time to build skill
the chance is there to yourself to give
move as fast as time goes if you will

push yourself
it’s the only way to go forward
keep training yourself
as time only moves forward

give it time
to make it
take your time
to enjoy it

see how life has turned you
when you found out it’s hard
it’s hard to reach your goals
which are not the same you once had

one of them still remains
independence, to live free
you ‘re moving away from it
as you grow older you see

dependencies are multiplying
as you move along the line
time is getting less and less
you still have to do what’s left behind

it’s getting you tired each time
you realise that this is true
it’s getting you even more tired
to know there’s nothing you can do

time to accept that it is hard
hard to follow your dreams
and be on time for everything else
impossible now it seems

NO! It’s not the time to accept
it’s time to re-organise
your life, your goals, your dreams
and carefully prioritise

then move on with a clear head
and keep trying until the end
and when you reach this point again
come back and read this again and again
