“Wizard of Oz” characters are portrayed to reveal how friends and family are key to overcoming "evil", and making one feel as if they are human. It’s a poem that resurfaces a childhood movie by reflecting the importance of support, courage, and making the right choice.
She pointed a finger
Claiming that I was the tin man
It jabbed me in my rusted chest
Her hands on hips
Evoking all my lacks of expression
It pulled down my lips
I lowered my cast
To find ruby red slippers
Promising a way home
She crossed her arms
Closing me off without chance
It pined my metal feet in ground
I closed my fists
But the lion pillowed them in his paw
Holding my strength to me
She laughed
Mocking me a frozen coward
It steamed my head
I readied up a curse
Then scarecrow danced to forget
Which stopped a brainless act
A house fell
Erasing all but a new pair of shoes
I prayed she’d fill them
We stood on yellow bricks
Palms pressing against each other’s hand
My new blood flowed to the gang’s alliance
