Happy birthday to me
I am finally 13
At long last a teen
Oh glorius sweet day
Hooray-hoorah!
But no all I feel is grief
All I feel is utter pain
On this one day out of the year when
I should feel happy
So what am I to do?
I'm lonely,yes
But the truth is I hide myself from the world
I hide underneath all my coats of paint
My costumes
My masks
So I know why I feel lonely and it's all
Because of myself
Because I've distanced myself from the world
From my friends
From all who love and cherish me
I escape only when I'm alone
But maybe all I need is someone to
Just love me for me
On my birthday i should escape all this
You'd think so
But no instead it's weighs me down even more and more
And I carry it with me wherever I go
So in ending I say
A very happy birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
I am finally 13
At long last a teen!!

Guess it doesn't really matter what I think but it's true. This is how I feel everyday when I awake and everyday when I drift off to sleep,my only peace,my temporary sanctuary.

i'm sorry you feel this way, but take it from me life gets better. Your at a hard age right now and I understand because I have been there myself. Happy birthday, I hope you feel better soon. You poem was really good too. I really liked it. Keep on writing, and remember to not give up even when things seem really hard.

Please dont be sad
We all have to go throught this painful time in our lives when we distance everyone who loves and cares for us. I could tell you that it is all down to hormones, but thats just a cop out, It is just a time in our lives when we feel vulnerable and it is safer to shut ourselves off from the world for a while. This will pass and you will blossom into a beautiful person 
so hang in there and think beautiful thoughts
