the birthday girl's poem


i wrote the poem below when i was sending out invitations to my birthday party -- which was well attended by the way. i was surprised that a lot of people still made it last saturday. :) we all had a blast :D

thanks guys. i'm still smiling until now. ;) *hugs*

anyway, writing this poem was sort of a spur of the moment. i was simply typing the details about my party, and i wanted to add a line in the end -- some sort of a quotation. but i ended up writing a poem.





-lull-


a serene smile
complements
her sad pair of eyes

loud voice
conceals
her real fears

toughness in aura
makes up for
her weaknesses

the sound of laughter
fends
for her misery

slowly she walks away
far from the the big picture

self defining moments
all start flooding back
of the 12 months past

consuming
reminiscing

as she celebrates her natal day
