ONE

One.

I am the only one,

Here

Now

Forever

And ever.

Made in a Lab

with upside-down notions.

Laced up boots for

Rhythmic marching, that is

offbeat with my feet and mind.

One, Two, Three, Four

My footsteps echoing as they hit floor

Black lines on my neck

Marking me with no respect.

They try to blame me and shame me,

They attempt to tame me, name me.

A soldier, a killer, a machine, and a number

I hear what they call me.

But I am nameless, faceless,

shapeless, and alone.

Trusting no one.

Fearing the unknown.

Knowing what's done is done

Knowing that I am the only one.
