THE ONLY ONE

THE ONLY ONE

When you're THE ONLY ONE who gets it
When you're THE ONLY ONE, who's listening
When you're THE ONLY ONE available
You start depending on yourself
Listen to your own thoughts
Give yourself the right to have a voice
Let it out, express yourself
Scream if you have to
Give yourself permission to be heard
Tell yourself; You've got this
Who else knows you, better than you?
I started talking, inside my mind
Little private conversations in my head
I'd pretend to talk to my cat (Out Loud)
If you can imagine that?
Oh but then, I got bold and spoke out loud
Behind four walls, of course
But then, one day it happened
I think I finally cracked
I got caught talking to myself; OUT LOUD
In a public place, no less
Loneliness can make a person act that way
We just needed to hear our own voice
When you have no one to listen
Do you really have a choice?
Those of us, who talk out loud
We just needed a good listening to
When you have no one to listen
And all you have, is you
You talk out loud, you talk to yourself
I'm sorry, but it's true
When you have no one to talk to
And THE ONLY ONE, is you

Thank you, I thought, boy when I  disclose the fact that I talk to myself, people are really going to think I've lost it. LOL. Thank you for your support! :-)
