She Arrived In June

My name is xxxxxx
I arrived in June
One night whilst the cow jumped over the moon
I am vegan, loyal, afraid and brave  
The Sister of one and that’s it for me  
I’m the lover of no-one but what will be , will be 
I stand up for myself 
Whilst I sit on my shelf 
I feel broken, lost and lonely most of the time 
I fear death and isolation, being a victim of crime
I would love to see animals being treated with respect 
After all they are innocent and incredibly perfect
I daily feel their fear, and their isolation 
They deserve a much better and wholesome reputation 
I work hard for my pay without thanks or reward
Are we put on this earth to work so hard ?
I live in England, it’s not so proud anymore 
Why do I stay here ? , I’m not at all sure 
I dream of  Paris, Provence and New York
Continental salads and fancy wine corks 
But I follow the crowds and I go the right way
I am xxxxxx and I will have ‘my day’

I am so pleased that you placed in my recent contest. Your bio was nicely written and presented. I judged these blind, so I had no idea who was who. I selected those that were most appealing to me. Thanks for entering. I see that you are fairly new to Poetry Soup. Welcome and congratulations! Now, I would suggest you change the XXXXs to your name.
