Unwittingly,i'm 31 years old.Time flies fast.I was born in 21st,March.The day after tomorrow is my birthday.
Every birthday in past,i always felt lonely.You mayben don't believe,but i never ate the Birthday Cake in my birthday.
I only ate the Cake in my younger Cousin sister when i was 6 years old.Next day i'm gonna go shopping to buy a birthday cake for myself.
The dream of being a poet is still very far to me,i even can't see a silver lining.But i'll keep moving on.
People always say the great person was born in the hardship.The fate will beat them again and again,just like Job in Bible.But they never yield to the fate and the prejudice of this world.
No matter what future will be,i still believe God never fails anyone who listens to his revelation.One day,i'll be Chinese John Keats and become a star in the sky.
Surely,21st,March is an amazing day.It's easy to remember,it's just 321.Meantime,it's also the Day of the "World Poetry","World Forest"and "World Sleeping."
By the way,i watch the weather forecast,my birthday will be cool and rainy day.My favorite weather is the rain.In the rainy night,gently blowing out the Birthday Candles is really a very romantic thing.
In the end,i wish this year will be better,any my dream of being a poet will finally come true.Meanwhile,i also send the most beautiful wishes to you,wish you all can have a wonderful and bright future.

Happy belated birthday and I hope you enjoyed your cakel. Keep writing poetry and entering contests. Publish your poems and market to those who can relate to your poetry. Go to events at restaurants where you can share your poetry. Start a blog. Your poetry grips the emotion. Keep working at it and soon your dream will come true

I feel so warm to hear that,but i live in China,not America.I'm on the blacklist of CCP because of my dissidences,so i don't dare to publish my works or market them to people.
That's why i started writing English poems,i have lost all hope and chance in China.I just wish this world can know there's still a poet in Mainland China.
As the totalitarian rule gets stricter,i don't know how much time do i have.Maybe i'll be executed or put in the Mental hospital one day.I can't change it,CCP is too powerful to defy
Now i just wish God can let my dream come true after i die just like Solzhenitsyn,Zamyatin and Akhmatova who were persecuted by Communist Party but finally earned their fame.

@choijungeun maybe write them on sites in America. I know what it's like to be discriminated against for speaking. And fighting for what's right. Pray to God and He will hear your prayer

Happy (belated) birthday! 
What have you been doing in order to achieve your dream of becoming a poet?
It seems like you had a beautiful day, lack of cake aside.
I had cakes several times instead and feel like they're overrated at this point.

Happy Birthday, @choijungeun - Thanks for following. I am 65 myself. Birthdays are a milestone in our lives. God blesses us with each day and celebrations of birthdays are a milestone. I wish you well and hopefully you will have many years ahead. Poetry is something I really do enjoy. My mother wrote poems and had a few books published. I am glad that you are of the faith. Job is a very long lived person of Biblical history. The book of Job is well worth a read. God blessed Job with long life. God's peace be with you.
