Halloween

Selah's picture

Having so much fun
my friends i just walking along
loving how the breeze blows back our hair
We may look ridicules
but we don't care
The sky grows dark
and all of our groups
becomes one
we all walk together
from door to door
trick or treat we say
2 or 3 times in a row
collecting candy and
as it gets later we all start to leave
slowly trickling back to where we began
parents in cars
picking up their children
In the morning
i sleep in because i can
feeling the pain from
bruises, blisters, and scabs
relishing them like the night before

Great.
