The Birthday Wish

Just as a tradition, the candles she blew

But none of her desires ever came true

She pleaded for a happy family

But all she shared with them was a tragedy

Children wished her a happy birthday

However, her family filled her with sadness every day

Never did they have a healthy talk from the start

They continued to rip the heart of each other apart

Just as a tradition, the candles she blew

But none of her desires ever came true

Her performance academically was oh so bright

But her mother expected her to do chores all night

I wouldn't say her talent was any less

Her dancing skills were the best to impress

Just as a tradition, the candles she blew

But none of her desires ever came true

The fact that designer bags and fashionable outfits are the best gifts wasn't true

Since she lived in a surrounding so dry and blue

All you can expect the birthday girl to do is cry

She still weaves the scarf of hope for her family, because she is determined to try
