Birthday

I tried something 
something I haven’t 
something so different 
that afterwards I 
knew that I 
wasn’t the same 
and then this 
new way I 
was now became 
who I am 
and that this 
very exact thing 
is precisely what 
all of us 
did when we 
decided to leave 
paradise and become 
the person who 
you know now 
who we all 
know right now 
happiest of birthdays
