DAY!

Just few more hours, and it is the day, I was born, 21 years ago. Maybe that brought so much of happiness to my family; my sister had a younger one to play with. My parents obviously had their child to hold. And there was me, a being, too surprised to have understood anything, too small for anything. 21 years down the road, the path of life, I feel the same. Too surprised on how I should be feeling, too unsure about whether I should be feeling happy or sad. The difference being just that, then I was not big enough to know, and today I am too big to not know. Things have certainly changed, so has everything, including me. But for every year, for 2 decades in a row, I had the same exuberance, the same exhilaration, for this very day, which has faded today. Faded, torn like the same birthday dress I had many years back. Blurred like my eyesight, deafened like my numb ears, and ripped off like my heart!
