Dreaming of Home: What Do You See #70

I came to find my idea of the land of Oz,

Where dreams are supposed to come true so easily.

Yet I monthly oscillate between joy and despair,

Because I approached my future so breezily.

People here in these buildings of chrome and glass

Rudely rebuff the daily offerings of my smiles.

Feelings of rejection and isolation engulf me,

As I walk these lonely streets for miles and miles.

I can almost see the yellow house where joy lived,

And I wish that I could replicate its wonders here.

I loved, in no particular order, the smell of mother’s pies,

My father’s sweet embrace, and laughing with my peers.

I’d light a fire in the mornings to warm my frozen heart,

And I would be welcomed home by its soothing light.

But, alas, for now, I am stuck in this heartless jungle,

Just trying to hold on to my sanity with all of my might.
