Single

Single is a black dot on white paper,
a lone tree in the middle of the desert floor.
Single is seperate,
distinguished by individuality.
Something unique because we know it as ONE.

Single keeps my mind open,
away from preasure,
a road of my own
on the map of influence.

Single warrants questions,
from family,
from friends.
Questions about girlfriends,
grandkids and when?

Single is extra money on Valentine's Day,
an emotionless kiss spared on New Year's.
Single keeps you out of the carpool lane
and wastes a perfect set of wine glasses.

Single is strength,
as strong as one's heart.
Single displays emotion,
that sets us all apart.

Single is the block that makes foundations.
The example that creates trends.
Single is the idea we started,
at a moment in time with our friends.

Single is the underestimated,
often unappreciated.
Single was the grain of sand
that made the beach,
or the final color that finished the rainbow.

Single is a term of strength and diversity,
rarely worn on your sleeve.
Single shows independence,
our own thoughts we believe.

Single is who and why I am.
Neither strong nor weak,
big or small...
Single is me,
who I am amongst you all.
