There is an old poem I remember from a high school textbook that I think is called Birthday, and it ends: they sentenced me to life/I guess I deserved it. If you could tell me the name of the author/title(if i have it wrong)/ and the poem, that would be awesome

Birthday by M. T. Buckley
Geronimo.
I jumped into the world.
No parachute. Bootless,
falling into enemy territory
into the night (had my eyes closed)
Didn't take them long to find me.
These suicide missions are all the same.
Name? not yet. Unit? 82nd Newborn, ha ha.
Slapped me around a bit
but I didn't talk.
Made sure I wouldn't escape.
Sentenced me to life. I guess I deserved it.
ENJOY!!
