    This poem describes a birthday as a burden rather than a special occasion. It suggests staying in bed on one's birthday instead of celebrating. The poem portrays birthdays negatively, saying people only pretend to be surprised and there is nothing exciting about it. It describes finding attention through crying, laughing, shouting or being mentally ill on your birthday, but says living with doubt is not worth it.

    I can't think of a present for myself on my birthday so I wrote this

    The Birthday Poem

    By John Dave Figueroa

    Now that is your Birthday


    Just lay in bed and stay
    It isn’t special occasion
    Only a burden to your intention

    People act like they’re surprised


    And shut their mouth 'cause there’s nothing spiced
    Walk through the room and close the door
    Close your fiery eyes and start to bore

    You can cry, laugh, and shout


    Be mentally-ill if you want a clout
    Finding attention in and out
    It’s not worth to live with a doubt

    You can finally taste the bitter life


    Think what happened when you were five
    Stab yourself with a knife
    Fuck you too, nobody cares if you’re alive
