On my 15th birthday I baked cupcakes
chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing.
I put the icing on too soon and it melted.
I sat on the stair case outside that led to our 2nd floor apartment. whoever this "our" was. he was not familiar to me. real father? father? [your name] didn't matter what he was called I wasn't comfortable with calling him anything.
all but silence made me cringe.
I sat on the steps. no candle to be lit and cried. "happy birthday." I said quietly. No wish to be made. I wiped my tears and went inside. Back to my temporary unfamiliar home.
Happy birthday
-sincerely, me.
