I stand alone on top of a hill.
In front and behind me are valleys of sand.
I sometimes see birds and other critters try to greet me,
But ones who are bigger try to avoid me.
It makes me feel lonely.
Sometimes I just want someone to love me.
Sometimes I feel like I want someone to hug me.
I don’t want to hurt others.
I don’t mean to be a pain.
I just want to put a smile on everyone’s face.
Maybe one day, someone will love me.
Maybe someone may even adopt me.
Until then, I just stand here, waiting for the rain.
That could take days, weeks, months, or even years.
In the mean time, I’ll just stand here and wonder why everyone avoids me.
Maybe it could be all the flowers and fluff.
