Wanting to grow up
to wishing to go back
happens in time,
in a short period that flies.

I don't know if it's more important
to look or feel grown
but what if you don't?
What if all the responsibilities
leaning on you
are making you heavier
and hard to deal with?

Yearning to be better,
but is any of us doing any good?

Are we happy like we thought we would?
Are we working like we know we should?
What does it mean to grow older?

What do we mean by happy birthday?
