Birthday Morning - A Blank Verse by elfaez(m): 7:48am On Mar 31, 2015 |
It's my birthday morning I woke up to chats and laughs Akin to those of sneering hyenas From my roommates plotting my downing My spirit buzzed with joy But my limbs quaked and my skin froze With fear, fear of an hundred buckets of cold water Belts, cassava powder, and varieties of Grimy fluids I'd rather not think of. I cuddled closer to my blanket like it was snowing in. My phone buzzed to life as birthday wish After birthday wish flew in, warming my heart. But just then a roommate approached With a smile none less sinister Than Adolf Hitler smiling at a jew. My heart lept cold. I flew out of my room chased by my friends Each branding a bucket Or bowl of torture. I escaped. And here I am, safe,but in the open Anticipating attack, with only my underwears on. As my skin tingles with goosebumps Writing this cold, frightened poem I ask you all, what exactly is a birthday about? |
