I'm only one person.
Only one voice,
one mind,
one set of ribs that cages my
one heart.
I break
as one.
Not two,
not three.
I have one pair of legs,
that move one step at a time
to the many places
this one man desires to travel.
There is one attempt
at this one life
many years,
one man.
Only one,
not two,
or three.
Many choices,
many consequences
this one man can fall into.
One chance
to tell my one friend
how many hurts
hit my one heart.
One thousand enemies
bear down
but I put my trust
in the One God.
His one death
is my chance.
Not one,
or two,
but one million chances.
Wipe my one thousand tears
one more time
