How could you fictionalize birthday trauma?
On a nonfiction note:
On my 11th neglected birthday
my parents forgot me
at the YMCA after closing hours
(with their phone off the hook
until the janitor had to give me a ride home
at the hour of 10 o'clock.)

It is too painful to even attempt to rhyme. Sniff.
