Im just a small person
In the grand scheme of things
You and I
We don't really matter
To the rest of the world
maybe that's alright
Perfectly acceptable
But the only thing Im sure of
Is that there's blood in my left ventricle
For that, I thank you
Whoever you may be
For granting me this life
And the honor to just be me.
