A sheep's trail

She opened her eyes and they called her Penny
Travels & adventures, she thought, would be many
Innocence and hopes, she carried in her heart
Struggling with reality, but had a rough start

My dear, my dear, you are unique
But out of the boundaries, thou shall not peek
Thou shan't even try, lest you fail
Thou shall abide by the sheep's trail

Fainter the lines grew, with passing days
Horizon and stars, still holding her gaze
Paths became weary, mundane life grew
A hint of rebel sparked, out of the blue

My dear, my dear, you are unique
But out of the boundaries, thou shall not peek
Thou shan't even try, lest you fail
Thou shall abide by the sheep's trail

Wising up, she felt unhappy with finite choice
The meek yearnings, had finally gained voice
They cried- Our Penny is astray, is it a farce?
Why walk to the horizon, why want the stars?

We've laid out the rules, told you what to do
You've seen the trail, should've followed it too
The eccentricity, has to be confined
Don't talk of 'new', don't speak your mind.

My dear, my dear, you are unique
But out of the boundaries, thou shall not peek
Thou shan't even try, lest you fail
Thou shall abide by the sheep's trail
