Birds in the sky
I too want to fly

Wait a second; let me close my eyes
I land up on earth disappointed

Flying without wings is not the same
Then there are Roses
Alluring me with their sweet smell

I close my eyes and imagine myself
Spreading the aroma in the hell
I wake up disappointed
Roses aren’t roses without thorns

unhappy with the knowledge
i want to grow no more
