When Will I?
Every time I read a book

But I decide
To waste my energy anyway

What is there to do now? I don't know
My eyes are open but my mind somewhere else
Can't stay awake, can't stay focused

The Season of Death
Death reaches his hands
Shrivels leaves
Rips them up
Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream
They've waited all year for Halloween
But this death is not a scary thought
In fact it's comforting
