The Only One

It is really hard being the only one
The only one who will listen
The only one who understands
The only one who is always there
The only one who cares.
It is really hard to be the rock
It is really hard to be the ONLY shoulder to cry on
It is really hard to be the one to take all of the abuse
It is really hard to be the one still hanging on and
still caring
It is really hard to not feel like I have done enough.
Not showing emotions
Not thinking others to be relevant to my pain
Not letting others in because they will not understand
Not wanting to be hurt…again
Not wanting to burden others.
It is hard to be the only one who gives
The only one not taking
The modest one
The Happy-go-lucky one
The talkative one
The only one who cares...
But that one no one cares about.
The one wanting personal space but needing to talk
The one having trouble but being told to “SUCK IT UP”
The one feeling like the one getting tuned out
The one feeling different…inside and out
Being The only one.
The one having a tough time but can’t talk about it
The one no one approaches, but expects the world from in
return
The one everyone ignores
The one that is deemed as CRAZY, an OUTCAST, a LOON
The only one.
Being the only one viewing the world in a different light
Like an observer of human behavior
Like an “other”
Like someone who doesn’t fit in
Like a “non-human”.
But that is okay…I have embraced that
Because it is all that I have in this world
Is me
The only one.
