feral child

[triscallion]

sometimes you just feel like
you were dropped off here
as an infant
and raised by the wolves
and after all these years
you still roam with them
but you don't crawl across the ground quite like they do
you don't look the same
and though your growl sounds like theirs
there is something else in your throat
wanting to make a different sound

but you don't know what kind
because you don't know who left you here
or what they sounded like
you had only those around you
to mimic
and the imitation is poor
