27

Jodie

Today I turn twenty-seven.
It feels like any other day.

No messages lighting up my phone,
no knock at the door,
no one calling my name.

I sit at home
with silence stretched across the walls,
holding myself together
because I hate the way I cry.

Twenty-seven today—
and it feels like no one knows.

No cake.
No candlelight.
No wish waiting in the dark.

Just me,
myself,
and I.

    This poem feels so lonely and solitary and I remember the 27 club. Well written and a bit haunting
