Halloween

Something leaking in the dark
Maybe its my friend mark
do I really need to be so wary
This night is scary
The lights are out
I’m about to shout
I’m shaking of fear
It’s the scariest time of the year
Someone slapped me
It was so frightening
My heart was drumming
Then I heard something that was stunning
Then I saw Mandy
Holding candy
maybe it was poison
Now I hate Halloween!
