I'm the One

 

I'm the one you never knew existed.
I'm the one you always suspected.
I'm the one you liked to laugh at.
I'm the one you ignored.
I'm the one you hated for no reason.
I'm the one you knew was a loser.
I'm the one you thought was weird.
I'm the one you felt was beneath you.
I'm the one you believed wasn't too smart.
I'm the one you knew didn't even try to make a good impression.
I'm the one you considered to be too quiet.
I'm the one you disliked as a know-it-all.
I'm the one you saw as mean.
I'm the one you wished would shut up.
I'm the one you bet was a big wimp.
I'm the one you thought hated everyone.
I'm the one you never had time to meet.
I'm the one you guessed was just having a bad day.

I'm the one ... and I'm not.

I'm just one.

Alone.
