The only one was me,
the only one you refused to see.
No matter what they said I was the only one.
I'm the only one who doesn't
breathe.
I'm the only one who doesn't
speak.
I'm the only one who cannot
sleep.
I never breathe.
I never speak.
I never sleep.
I'm young and I'm distressed.
I can't sleep, so I'm restless.
I'm the only one.

I like this, it is short and to the point, a little ambiguous but it doesnt take away from the meaning or from the reading - this is good ^.^
I agree with Lins on the points she made, and have an idea to add my own ^.^
Your last line "I'm the only one" -perhaps "I am the only one" would make more of a statement to end. The use of contractions is fine in the rest of your poem, but I think using the full words for the last line gives it a final punch before the end.
The change from "doesn't" to "cannot" in the second stanza was unexpected, I like it, it shows finality.
All in all, I really do like this little poem, nice work ^.^

I think you have a good idea but you have to work on some stuff.
Just a couple things that might help. Good luck.
Love,
