One

I am but one,

A lonely child.

Only a single mother.

Shouldn’t a babe of merely two,

Have both? I am but one,

A lonely girl.

Not a single friend.

Shouldn’t a babe of merely seven,

Have many?

I am but one,

A lonely teen.

Not a single story.

Shouldn’t a babe of merely fourteen,

Have dozens? I am but one,

A lonely soul.

No life at all.

Shouldn’t a babe of merely nineteen,

Have one?
