There is a monster ,
that comes out every Halloween,
it feasts on fear and feasts on cheer,
don’t scream too loud otherwise,
it will hear. It hears your joy,
It hears your pain, don’t get
too happy or sad, it will know.
I have seen this creature in action,
but there is something in its chest; I thought
there was nothing at all it… it… was hollow.
My legs started to tremble, my belly started to rumble
and the tears started to reappear and its darkness ,
started to blind me, I could not see,
I could only sense its presence near,
and it screeched
I AM HERE!
