Go 'Head! It's Your Birthday!

Yes it is! This is my birthday weekend and I have already started the celebrations. You might not be hearing from me for a couple of days, so I will leave you with this silly little poem that I wrote:

Yagé (Celebration of Self)

I blanket myself in the comfort of knowing
I am.

I am anything and everything I choose:
strong, sexy, simple, and sweet,
caring, cruel, charismatic, and complex,
all at the same time.
Whether mean, moronic, maniacal, or moody,
loving, lucid, laid-back, or light-of-heart,
I am beautiful in all my passions.

I am Me and it’s a beautiful thing!

Unconquerable, though they try.
I am the Sphinx, reveling and dancing
in the splendor of their awe.
Confident? Sure, but still humble.
I cherish every deep breath.
I know my place in this world,
I just happen to love where I stand
because no matter how everyone views me,
I know how I see myself;
that’s the most important thing.

I matter.

Don’t hate that I celebrate my birthday everyday.
If I won’t, who will? Only I can provide myself with
true happiness.
I’m tired of writing love poems about other people.
It’s time to write a love poem to myself and
celebrate who I have become, who
I am.

Yeah, it’s hard being me, but I love every minute!
