The Birthday Girl

Any of you guys ever come across those people who get all the celebrations with the balloons and the confetti...(exaggerated voice)you know the whole cargo? The birthday people? Yeah. I saw that look…we’ve all come across at least ONE of those in our life time. I saw someone over there actually look a little bit depressed points don’t worry fella you didn’t do anything wrong, you’re friends just don’t like you. Chuckle NO but seriously, what makes them so special everyone goes crazy out there wrapping their car, shoes, I mean I’ve seen it all pretty much it’s everything but the person them self and you end up having to ask yourself…what am I doing wrong? Why am I not getting that kind of love as well? Chuckles  And then It really sucks when your birthday happens to be on the same day exact day as well. And you’re looking around for something that someone gave you in hopes of a good comparison to the person with the celebration going on over there looks down looking for something someone gave you..oh yea… So you’re opening up your lunch bag and find this piece of paper unfolds sighs A love note from your mom… what’s worse is when it has a little recap of a memory of you when you were a runt. You find yourself in a rush to get rid of it before one of your friends read what you just found. Then you hear the birthday song and as you listen in somewhat envy…out of no where….that one “crow” appears out of their flock of friends. Getting crazy and belching out the lyrics like it was a tune that helped them go to sleep growing up. Then as you observe the people whom happened to gather around that person slowly drift away with a few raised eyebrows… some nonchalantly using their long hair cough (earmuffs) to their advantage...you can’t help but think to yourself (express strongly) praying hands thank the lord that was not you. And as you take one last look at the girl who once held a widened smile go down to a strained one…well that’s when you realize a smile had been plastered on your face that entire time. I mean of course you hold a bit of sympathy for the birthday girl but at the same time you’re counting your blessings and are happy with the note given to you by your mom because it was easily reversible.
