I have come to your group for somewhere to belong, I promise I shall adapt before too long, I will accept anything you ask me to, I have come a long way, I have run away from home”But you are not like us’, the pigeon said to her’You cannot come and pretend you do,Pack your bags and go somewhere new,You can’t even sing our song, This is not your home’All the other pigeons stopped talking and staredAnd their looks made it clear that they also sharedThat Romy could no longer stay and Romy felt there was no other wayBut to accept and fly away.
