Isolation

[shosen]

He’s always been taller than me, but it used to be that I was smaller than all of them. Our little group, and me the little one. Now he towers over us all, the little group has changed, the people are different, and I’m not that much smaller.

He’s always talked in words I don’t understand, but they were understood by everyone but me. Troll tongue with no one to understand my guttered response. Now he asks us to talk in ways he can understand, and I hear everything with understanding.

So why am I still the odd one out?
