The poem describes the speaker's loneliness and isolation over the past 18 years of their life, having never caused sadness in others or received love in return. Though they have had moments of longing for companionship, those feelings have died off over time as the speaker's hopes faded and experience taught them that truth and sincerity do not exist in human or their own nature. The speaker is left friendless and alone, as isolated as they were on the day of their birth.
