Today was my birthday.

18 and never been drunk.
18 and never had drugs.
18 and never failed a test.
18 and never done an 'all nighter'.
18 and never eaten ice cream from the tub.
18 and never had sex.
18 and never been clubbing.
18 and never had detention.
18 and never snuck out.
18 with prospects.
18 with a respectable future planned.
18 with great grades.
18 with a good relationship with parents.
18 and bored.
18 and frustrated.
18 and tired of acting so damn perfect.
Today was my birthday, nobody cared, not even me.
