\n Hi there, just a little poem that sort of just sprung into my head really. Make what you will of it.

\n  

\n  

\n I used to shun people, they thought me rude.

\n I had stranded myself on an island of solitude.

\n  

\n But then I realise what I have been missing.

\n If only I had learned before but my mind was closed, I wasn't listening.

\n  

\n I claw and I bite as I try to get in.

\n A situation that it seems I can not win.

\n  

\n I try to be known, but they ignore my bark.

\n Still isolated, swallowed up by the dark.

\n  

\n Yet still I hope that some way, some day.

\n I shall no longer be looked upon as a waif, a stray.
