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
