Leaving the Emerald City

Nov 7
Written by Alice Allis

By the time I escaped,

I had gained a heart,

though it was broken;

cultivated a brain,

yet still very naive;

gained the courage to leave,

but not to face my fears;

and managed to acquire

a one-way ticket

back to the last place

I thought I would run to.
