Birthday - Poem

Today is my eighteenth birthday.

I should feel happy,

But I feel more alone.

Part of me wishes,

I could be blind like the others,

Or just not care.

But I am not blind

And I do care.

That brings me down

And society disgusts me.

I am becoming more excited

To leave this behind

And go somewhere else.

This world is so disgusting,

So full of hate.

I wish it were not so. 
But being able to see,

Empties me greatly

And makes me not want to care.
