Make what you will of it.** _\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI used to shun people, they thought me rude.\n\nI had stranded myself on an island of solitude.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBut then I realise what I have been missing.\n\nIf only I had learned before but my mind was closed, I wasn't listening.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI claw and I bite as I try to get in.\n\nA situation that it seems I can not win.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI try to be known, but they ignore my bark.\n\nStill isolated, swallowed up by the dark.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nYet still I hope that some way, some day.\n\nI shall no longer be looked upon as a waif, a stray.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
