The Day After (Your Birthday)

Balloons grazing the ground, streamers limp, remnants of a crumbling cake....the birthday is over folks. The day of all your closest facebook friends giving some TLC to your wall are over. You'll go back to page three of their status updates. A little emptiness in your heart from the swell of attention you got yesterday and the reality of everyday to come for the next 364 days. The questions of life illuminate on the day after your birthday, screaming "Look at me, look at me!"

Ah birthday, it was great while it lasted. Thanks for the memories.
