thankyou

today is my birthday
so happy birthday to me

i struggle with this day each year
each year i remind myself of what i haven't accomplished
but
today
i can't wallow
because
what i do know
despite how i treat myself
is
that
i am loved
i am surrounded by love

today i was blindfolded
and lead on a wild goose chase
and then my blindfold was removed
and i looked into the room

all the people i love were gathered before me
at some ungodly hour
but they were there
because i work a lot
and this was the only time i had available today
and these people made themselves available to me

and i am overwhelmed

because no matter what
i love
and am loved in returned

thankyou
all of you
