Scared yet?
As you walk to the doorstep you trip and fumble over the fake props.
You hear the laughter of a holiday from inside.
Ghostly figures come through the trees.
You trip and fall once more.
“Trick or treat give me something good to eat, if you don’t I don’t
care, I’ll pull down your underwear.”
Memories from your childhood flicker through your mind, as children sing
Doorstep
To doorstep.
You miss the days of candy
Now you’re too old for that
You miss the innocent houses
That could never frighten you
Finally up to the door you knock lightly, and the door swings open
You see fog rising up from the deserted ground
You have no idea what is going on, and you already would like to leave
But no
You can’t let yourself down
There are reasons for this
And that’s the only reason why you’re here
You walk up the stairs and feel them cower beneath your weight
As you look down, you notice skulls and things scattered along the floor
You already hate it here, but you need to finish your mission
You don’t want to be made fun of anymore
You have to overcome your fear of ghosts, and goblins
And other things
Your fear of never becoming
one of those girls
The beautiful ones
The ones loved by many
But you will be one of those girls
Magically transformed after this
To a beautiful, indestructible girl
You reach the attic
And everyone turns their head
They knew who you were and what you were here for
The ouija board is out, and ready to call
The things you are afraid of
Spirits and monsters
You walk in, to never come back out
Happy Halloween?
