Things didn’t go as planned
They left thinking
I have no hand in this
my hands are tied

Unfortunately what happened to you
is just a coincidence
We didn’t want to affect you
but we need your hours
We are really sorry
Unfortunately you have to go
work somewhere else

A bird who just arrived yesterday
tried to push the big bird
who had lived in the branches for long

No you haven’t grown old
No you haven’t become nonsense
You just don’t belong to the space
which I have allocated for myself

I don’t care wherever you go
but I need that space
where I can grow and bloom
Your fragrance is not required here
Grow somewhere else

And the flower
didn’t have much to say

They took it away
planted in some other pot
torn from the soil
where it had anchored its roots
deep down in the earth

Will it survive long
Or will it grow back strong
