"I pray nobody kills me for the crime of being small."

Kayla Ancrum

I hope nobody kills me
For the crime of being small
I hope nobody ignores me
Because I'm inches tall

I hope nobody hurts me
I hope maybe they'll care
I hope somebody rescues me
When I am stuck somewhere

I hope nobody steps on me
Just because they can
And I hope nobody minds the fact
I'm much more mouse than man
