Giving A Pint

Today

Today I gave...

I gave a piece of me

I gave some of my blood

A pint to be on point


They stuck me

And the blood drained

As it drip dropped 

And poured into the bag

It hurt

Actually, this time it really hurt

But you know what?

I think it was worth it 

It was worth the pain

It'll help someone

And

It strengthened me 

Yet still made me queezy

The blood will now be sent away

Tested and given to someone...

Someone who really needs it

My blood

It's A Positive

Quite common

So... needed about as much as given


I'm glad this is something I can do

I'm young but I can still make a difference

It hurt but I plan to give again

And again and again....
