Number 1

1 is the loneliest number,

I heard it before,

I am that number.

I have other numbers beside me, yet

I don’t feel part of the equation,

I’m only number 1,

Even my mathematical pal said so.

I said before my solitude is my friend,

Yet my enemy,

I’m number 1 but not a winner.

I’m no one special,

I’m a bore,

I’m that last puppy that none wants to adopt.

Even though I felt this before,

It is still hard to come back here again.
