I take off the spectacles
and I realize
the Emerald City
isn’t green at all
I see you
in the light of day
and I realize
you’re not the person
I thought I needed
to make me feel good about myself
I was asleep in the poppies
and the validation wasn’t worth it
I loved you last night
but I was dreaming
too far over the rainbow
Now
I just want to go
home
Someone please take me
home
