I too enjoy being outside the flock (I just read Jonathan Livingston Seagull) but I do like social connection, which I don't get enough of these days.

Back to the outsider status, and as I see you write a lot of poetry, here's a rondeau I wrote last year:

Oh So Alone on an Island in a Sea of Humanity

For more months than I care to count

the divide continues to mount

Grains of sand slip through my fingers

On the beach I still malinger

My truth society will discount

Must act now for my own account

Show the world I am paramount

Stand up front as lead singer

Oh so alone on an island in a sea of humanity

Prey on sheep this stealthy catamount

Conformity I shall surmount

Liberty bell I shall be the ringer

Take notice here comes a zinger

Drivers of the herd shall now dismount

Oh so alone on an island in a sea of humanity
