A spec of dust, one of countless
Adrift in this cold cosmos

A grain of sand, one of what seems infinite
In this universal beach, stretching across the galaxy

A drop of ink, a splash of color
On the canvas of this abyssal painting

Out of billions of years
Does twenty-one even make a difference?

What do I want from this?
My twenty-first year?

I don't want much

I want to grow up a little
Maybe then I'll understand life's riddles

I want to get us a little place of our own
A place for us to call home

I want to be a better artist
To make something I can truly be proud of

Now that I'm a year older again
I want my life to truly begin
