Today I step into a new world
The day to separate from the crowd
Today I say bye to childish things
As I embrace more responsibilities
The day to let go of the past
And things that didn't last
As I welcome the future
The moment to act mature
I know this journey won't be easy
I know things might be tough and greasy
But I hope to face them boldly
Not succumbing to failure coldly
Today I hope to stop shedding tears
Like I've done on this day over the past years
Today I hope to carry a bold heart onward
Forgiving my parents and move forward
Today I hope to stop being a brat
As I put on my birthday hat
Saying goodbye to teenage hood
Years of pain,scars and blood
Rebellion,betrayals and heartbreaks
Also of laughs,friends and frenemies
Acting cool,being worshipped by all
Even while you drown but can't bawl
I say goodbye to those immaturities
And face the world of opportunities
A place to make lifetime decisions
That may not require rescissions
I hope for a better adulthood
As I go into a celebratory mood
I wish me better days ahead
Facing life without being afraid
Happy birthday to me
With lots of love and impish glee
