Happy Birthday to Me



I'm sorry but no.

I
am
really
just not
ready for
this crazy life
ahead of me.
Don't make me 
blow out 18
candles.
Please  don't make me
pretend to know what
I'm doing. Please don't
make me get a desk job
or fall in love too soon.
I'm pretty sure that you
forgot to tell me how to
pay taxes or vote for the
president. What is HOA
 anyway?  don't give me
that cake. I don't  want
your cards full with cash
 Where are my crayons?
Where  are my coloring
 pages? My stickers and
glitterglue? I'm really not
ready  to be all  on  my
own. I still need to be an
 astronaut, and travel the
world. Or did you think
those dreams died with
the  flames of  candles
from birthdays long past?
