No one

          No one but me

 

I’m not what I was

nor wanted to be

not happy not sad

not bandaged not free

not one in a million

not one of the crowd

not quiet

not silent

nor particularly loud

 

I’m not one of them

and I’m not one of those

I’m not into fashion

but I do wear their clothes

my looks are quite normal

for those who can see

though shorter than some

there are shorter than me

 

I’m a boy in a skin

that was made for a man

fulfilment is one thing

but fill it I can

I look to a future

in love with the past

the present just something

that somehow will past

 

I’m not what I was

nor wanted to be

just someone

who happened

a no one

but me!
