Birthday Wish

 


Birthday wish

She never wished on birthday candles
of fancy gifts hard to resist 
She wished on dandelions 
to hear "I'm glad that you exist" 

She heard the words roll up her tongue
She loved how they would sound
She said them to every soul she admired 
Every flower, every child around

She said it over and over
thinking of a day when she knew
that she mattered to someone enough
to say that about her too...

I remember shivering intensely. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I couldn’t even get myself to muster enough courage to grab a jacket. I had my head buried in my hands when my eyes caught the sight of something unfamiliar. At first, it was hard to know if it was just my sleep deprived self making up visions or something really was up.  As I inched closer to the broken wall, I figured it wasn’t broken after all.  It didn’t exist anymore! Kid you not, by this time I had lost control over my limbs. They simply felt like a few lifeless grams of flesh.  And I had a fair reason to feel that way! It’s not everyday you see...
