The Greatest

The Real "Greatest of all Time"

A year ago, if you had asked me,

"Who is the greatest of all time?" 

I would've claimed it was a soccer player or a surfer.

Now, I have no real answer

But maybe…

Maybe it's me, 

Maybe I am the greatest.

I look back on a year ago, and a lot of things were different.

I was younger, for one

And two, I was much less observant of the world

I know now that there are flaws in most people,

And a year ago, I could've sworn some people were perfect.

I haven't broken any records, and I haven't won any awards,

But I have changed.

I know now that no one is perfect, and I know I can do better

I have realized that things will change, and nothing is ever constant

Nothing is ever promised,

Not life, not love, not perfection

But we try for these things, I try for these things

So maybe, just maybe, I am the real "greatest of all time"

Not many people would agree with that,

They'd say I'm selfish and unimportant.

They'd say I am not the main character

And they'd say some other things too

But I wouldn't listen

I worked so hard to be where I am.

I am not making a huge impact on the world

I am not changing anyone's life

Or maybe I am,

For my friends, for my parents.

I can change a life.

A single sentence, 

A single action.

Maybe I can change someone's life. 

Even if it is just one, I am making a difference.

I am here, and I am thriving

I am the main character in my own story, 

And that is the most that I can be, for me

So maybe, somewhere and somehow,

I am the true GOAT
