Headed the Wrong Way


                                                                                  From the first day,
                                                                            I was headed the wrong way.
                                                                                 Kept from the herd,
                                                                              Stay away was the word.
                                                                                  So it’s no surprise,
                                                                               I became socially unwise.
                                                                                    Left to myself,

                                                                                Like a book on a shelf.
                                                                                  Or a toy in a chest,
                                                                                  Forgotten at rest.
                                                                                 Apart from the herd,
                                                                                Though that is absurd.
                                                                             Didn’t run with them then,
                                                                                  I was kept in pen.
                                                                                  A recluse mother,

                                                                                didn’t let me discover;
                                                                                 friends, or socialize,
                                                                               nearly led to my demise.
