I am the one,
who raises his hand first
but always get picked last
I am the one,
the one who tries to be part of something
but never did felt belong
I am the one,
the one who tries to stir away from arguments
but always gets blamed
I am the one,
the one who puts in effort the best way I can
but never appreciated
I am the one,
the one who thinks I've given my best
but still not enough for them to even say that "I'm trying"
I am the one,
the one who wants nothing but everything to be okay
but ends up framed as the reason for falling apart
I am the one,
the one who strives to be enough,
but always felt lacking through their eyes
I am the one,
the one they remember when everyone has forgotten them
but forgotten once they are good again.
I am the one,
the one who they say is always "lucky" for having them
but a "burden" to the ones who have me with them.
Being the One isn't always better.
Sometimes
It's painful to be the One.
