Analysis of Birthday
Morrow is the day ;
The day of my birth-day,
Every year at the end of May,
I could never celebrate my birthday.
I woke up early,
I felt a little melancholy,
Losing all the strength I had like a withered petal holding on to the flower,
Trying my best to not collapse.
A glimpse of that whited sepulcher;
Whom I killed brutally.
The shade of his appearing on this day,
Making me shiver endlessly.
A glimpse of his ichor dripping,
His expressionless blue face,
Looking at me without a sense of fear,
My trauma brought back to life again.
It just keeps getting worse each year;
Birthdays I could never celebrate.
Still seeing his shade wander,
Waiting for me to surrender.

About this poem
I wrote this poem thinking about how one memorable day can change the life of a person. We think about how happy our birthday would be, celebrating it with our family or maybe alone. Birthday is a day which comes only once in an year, how pathetic would the life of a person be if something tragic happens on that day ?
