I wake up in the morning and see the date -17 January
I’m gonna be ten and make a wish,
Keeping it secret and being happy,
I’m gonna eat pizza while the rest have fish.

Though no-one knows my birthday is today,
I open my laptop and go on to chat,
And talk to everyone and say:
“Today is my birthday and i want a pet cat.”

They won’t come to a party so I won’t have presents,
But I don’t care care,
Still I am miffed,
Because I have to share!

My brother hates cats so I won’t have one,
But I get a red chocolate bar,
Still it wasn’t much fun,
I really loved my card because it was the first, so far.

I make cards but no one makes them for me,
But never mind,
I am still happy,
And try to be kind.

I tell my BFF it is my birthday,
But she doesn’t reply,
Although she is always free in a Sunday,
I felt very, very sad but I dare not cry.

No one sang happy birthday to me,
While I cut the cake and made a wish,
Oh, can’t you see?
How hard I am trying to be happy.

At the end of the day I write my diary,
It was the worst birthday yet.
I go to chat and see just one happy birthday written to me,
I write thank you though it was the worst birthday yet…

The very next day I find only one comment,
Saying happy birthday,
I write thank you and slowly press send,
I shut the laptop thinking to myself I hated yesterday!
