The One
I am the one who won't be remembered,
who's soul has been scarred, my heart dismembered.
I am the one who cries alone,
but to others, my weakness I'll never show.
I am the one who pretends to be strong,
but first impressions are almost always wrong.
I am the one who always has to lie,
"Never trust anyone" is a rule I live by.
I am the one who's never believed in dreams,
life is a nightmare, at least that's what it seems.
I am the one who's been broken,
shattered by promises, words falsely spoken.
I am the one who grew up too young,
in this life, I do not belong.
I am the one who fights myself,
always another battle, with no alliance to help.
I am the one who wants to give up,
but I won't, for I haven't proved enough.
I am the one whose life you're reading,
I am the one, who tries to keep believing...
