I am one.
One being, trapped within the confines of skin so imperfect-
-bones so stiff
-In a world so cold.

I know loneliness.
I have embodied it, become one of hundreds
of thousands,
of MILLIONS who stand without triumph.
Who yearn to be accepted, appreciated, adored.
and noticed.

I am One.
Yet, in that number so small,
I find peace of extreme proportions.
I have seen the Ones who have come before me.
Who have fought.
Who have spoken.
Who dared not be silenced by majorities,
but proclaimed strength in great adversity.

I am One.
But, I will not let this restrain me.

The endless possibilities of that number
will propel myself to new heights.

And WE will soar.
