You're Not the Only One
A musical piece by Julie Lacksonen
Someone else is feeling pain
Somewhere, others sob in vain.
And though your life has been hard-won,
You're not the only one.
*
Others experience similar grief.
Others' bodies have little relief.
Others' loves have gone away.
Others' finances are gray.
*
You're not the only one
Whose obstacle is finding fun.
You're not the only one
Who wishes this pain was done.
You're not
The only one.
*
Others' loves are trapped in despair.
Others' support is no longer there.
Others are without a friend.
Others watch a loved one's end.
*
Someone else is feeling pain
Somewhere, others sob in vain.
And though your life has been hard-won,
You're not the only one.
*
You're not the only one
Whose obstacle is finding fun.
You're not the only one
Who wishes this pain was done.
You're not, no, you're not
The only one.
Hold on, because
You're not the only one.
