Born Again

Is 24 too old?
It sounds a little intense now,
But you might know how.

Well, now you're 24,
I've got questions for you,
A lot more
Beyond the shore.

How many dreams do you have?
How far do you want to go?
How fun was the journey?
Did you just go with the flow?

I met you yesterday,
You're laughing with me like I'm your closest.
Who knew you would become a part
Of me in just days?

You are an adult.
How many little girls have you killed?
Just wanted to know,
Because they were the whole you,
Not meant to show.

Did you get the one?
The one everyone waits for?
Or the one who breaks you in four
One the heart,
One the peaceful soul,
A crazy mind,
And those eyes of yours?

Never saw you in real,
You must be so smiley.

Never told you what I am,
But you, you’re so creative.

I told you, I don’t like to share,
Because whoever I do makes me scared.

A long-distance friend,
A pen friend.
Couldn’t tell you all of me,
But you can feel the ink.
Treat me like a baby.

Write me a letter sometimes,
I’m also a part of this grand ballet.

Everyone laughs on their birthday,
I cry.
You’re getting older,
A little closer to death,
Yet closer to your dreams.
Never stop to wonder…

A very,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 

A Numb, wishing ✨
