The Only One


I am an only child

This is defining me to others

This makes others see me as a spoiled little girl who gets life handed to her

They do not see the hard work that I put into all I do

They do not see how hard I try to make people happy

They do not understand how I was taught to work for what you want

They do not hear them when I say that college and the really world is hard

They do not understand that I like to work for what I want

They do not see that i define myself as a hard work

All they define me as is a spoiled only child

But they are wrong

I am a hard worker

I shall always try to help those in need

I define myself as kind and caring to those in need

I define myself as a good listner to those who need to be heard

I am not defined as being an only child
