As My Birthday Has Found Me

Something short and silly perhaps. In case you're wondering, it's March 3rd. Ugh.
As my birthday has found me,
yet again,
despite my best efforts
to elude
I suppose it is time
more than
time to concede that it wants
to know
me better than I have allowed
in all those
years at the bottom of these salty
oceans
where I find myself.

Interesting... I like the flow, the feel. The ending feels a bit cryptic to me, the bit about the bottoms of salty oceans... puts me in mind of oceans of tears, mourning the passing of time.

Over all I enjoy this one quite a bit. :)

Man, does this ever hit home.

I don’t see this as “oceans of tears” so much as I do a drowning of sorts (?)

Nicely written.
