One


They say you need a whole lot more,

To make a difference, or even be looked at.

You try so hard to do just that,

for everything that you stand for.

But then they go and shut the door,

thrown to the side like an old bath mat.

Until you get a good look at,

just what you were missing before...

You finally fix the one mistake,

leading you to progress.

You go back to them, it's make or break,

in the end you're a success.

You proved one person is all it takes.

You say they need a whole lot less...
