Only the Lonely

Like the only word on the page, Like the only page with a word, Like the only voice being heard, Like the only bird in the cage. Like being paid the only wage; The one without his vision blurred. Like the only thought being spurred, Like the only mind of this age. Like the only leaf on the tree; The only flower in the ground. The only one with eyes to see, Like the only one being found. Like what it would be to be me; The only pound making a sound.
