100cc

An insulin syringe seems so small
Tiny actually
And all the things they can hold
Is almost too much to fathom

These little tubes
Can hold your car and your house
And as crazy as this sounds
Even your spouse

100cc's full of your hopes 
and your dreams
If this sounds too extreme
Just take it from me

These things can hold
Your family and your friends
And theres still plenty of room
For each of your kids

They'll hold your future
Even your past
And they've never failed
To fill up fast

So with this warning
What will you do
Risk it or not
It's all up to you

In the blink of an eye
Your worlds turned into a transparent liquid
It's all that's left
What will you do with it

Yes, sad but true what some will give up for a syringe full of liquid deception. The White Lady lies. She always does
