Happy Birthday To Me
By SirEnders
I am alone, drunk, and done
The only thing that showed up was a gun.
Happy Birthday to me, I will not wake
It's been 17 years for God's sake.
I gave it a good go, nonetheless
This elegant ivory handle, I'll caress.
Load one round and spin it around,
Someone hears a click, I am found.
They yell and pound at the locked door
I am laying down where I belong, the floor.
Spin it again and put it to my head, click
They try yelling but the music is so thick.
I skip the song and look out the window
A beautiful creature is there, a crow.
It takes flight and my door breaks
It's the police, I knew the stakes.
After all, it was Russian Roulette
They are all around me, a beset.
I drop the gun and now I'm on floor nine
The choice I made was only mine.
Happy Birthday to me, from the psych ward
What a day huh, I do not want attention or a card.
Not a word spoken for a solid month and 5 days
Go home and stab my bed into fluffy filets.
Find the gun I hid so no one could see
Load one round, Happy Birthday to me.
Spin it around, waiting for the hammer
Under my breath I slur a stammer.
Pull the trigger and I repainted my wall
My skull looking like a deep red shawl.
Oh what a perfect and gruesome sight to see
17 years, I'm finally gone. Happy Birthday to me.

Thank you, it's easy writing about one's own life. Just have to find the word flow and articulations. Again, thank you for reading. Hope you like the rest of my poems as well.

Nice write, SirEnders. With a pro flow like that, and with such captive imagery, I really can't find it in me to take this piece literally. Much enjoyed! :)
