What Is One
One is only as strong as their weaknesses
There amongst the soul a feel to survive
Failure, not option but choice one chooses
What is one but only what you make
A person of integrity you bend rules
Among the stranger we call friends
Your morals fall way side to impress
Being like the world we forget
Who is one except they be different
That in yourself you be one
A fine example to mankind you paint
A footprint one wants to follow
To be like but not be of
Setting our own, each one a replica
Made of similar human DNA
Same emotions but yet not same
Different mindset could carry attitude
We struggle to change, even demon that walks
Who is one but their own success
Trail of many a different step
But the same initiative the path
Wanting to achieve goal of life
To live, be free, to know love
To know our own self is deep
But are you willing to go its depths
Where darkness is fear's hunger
But your faith, light at end of tunnel
What is one, only what you allow to exist
