Birthday's are suppose to be fun

Full of happieness and life

A day to celebrate your birth

Yet, mine is just full of regret

Questions even.

Why am I here?

What is my purpose?

Do I even have one?

How much longer do I have to sustain this?

They flow out of my mind like hot lava

Melting away my excitement.

Is the purpose of life to die in the end?

Live an average life and just get by?

Celebrate year after year that you are closer to death.

Birthday's are not fun. 

They're reminders that time never stops moving.

Some birthdays are filled with past regerts and not fun, and it's true.Time never stops moving. But I think, we're her for more than to just die. There doesn't seem to really be a purpose, in just coming here and dying. No, I believe we all have a prurpose. But, you're here for a reason. Everything has a reason. You're a wonderful and talented person and writer; never forget that, my friend. Because you are, and it's true. Everyone's filled with questions, I can connect. Because I'm filled with questions. But that doesn't stop me from believing that we all have a purpose to be here, and a reason. But, I can connect a lot. Thank you so much, for sharing this. :) Your poem is wonderful and descritpive. Thank you again. :)
