Fairy Tale Poem | Laura Funk

Yellow Brick Highway

There's no place like home
That's what I've come to find
I walked out the door determined
To find a life of my very own
Tired of being misunderstood

I wandered away with confidence
Then suddenly lightning struck
The wind began to blow and then
I realized I'm not so sure on my own
And all I want is to go back home

The path ahead is not as I planned
But I'm learning to make it on my own
With new friends by my side I will find
Independence and strength to stand
Knowing all along there's no place like home
