How to Celebrate A Birthday

by Cinque Brown



It's MY birthday.

How Should I act ?
What shall I do ?
I do not drink or smoke, the brothers demand that I "screw".

I have never been one to succumb to peer pressure
BUT getting older is NOW scarier than EVER.

Should I celebrate in the typical way
 but isn't that the antithesis of this symbolic day?

I guess, I'll read and write some poetry
 call a sista over and just be ME.
