One
We are one drop in an ocean of water.
One grain of sand on an endless beach.
A single sparkle in a bottle of nail polish.
A lone word in the Dictionary.
The solitary star in the sky.
Who was it that said we were just one?
They were right.
But they were also wrong.
All of us are more than one.
I am me,
You are you,
She is she,
He is he…
There is no we.
I am my own ocean,
You are your own beach,
She is her own bottle of nail polish,
He is his own Dictionary…
There is a certain word to describe every unique person.
That is, Individual.
Singular.
Distinct.
Separate.
Single.
