Scarry Night

Hundreds of days have passed,
hundreds of seconds,
of words,
whispers,
glances,
since we were faced 
with trouble.
Maybe more than that,
for some.
And,
we have been able to 
continue on through

A moment I have been 
waiting for,
a moment I have 
looked forward to 
for months,
is here,
and now that the day
has come,
I have endless streams
of butterflies swarming 
my stomach.

     There have been many instances in which one faces trouble, and many try to avoid it. However, there is one person who never dodges a question, who never gets herself out of an event.

When someone says 
"perfect,"
many immediately think
"flawless."
They hear the word,
and they picture no
problems,
no issues, 
nothing to worry about.
But how perfect 
would this world truly be,

Halloween,
an exciting day,
that I always look forward to,
that I always get excited about,
no matter the circumstance.
The costumes,
the candy,
the friends,
family.
The chill of brittle air
against my fingers,

For so long,
I have listened to others,
others' opinions,
others' words.
I have heard them 
speak,
I have heard them debate,
and I have only 
wished a single thing,
to be able to know
what I agree with.
