I Am One

L.A. White 1965 (Idaho)



I am one
No, I am not like you
Nor want to be
I am one
I am not smart
Nor want to be
I am one
I have no smarts
Nor want to be
I am one
Who struggles in life
You see I am not like you
Nor do I want to be
I am one
Who doesn't care what others think
Because I am one

About this poem
