Different Fate

I won't repeat The same mistake My parents made

Short Fuse

A tiny change in my day Can make or break The whole day

My eyes burn As they tiredly Read the page

Compassion falls easily.

Coin machine fortune 25¢ forecast It must be true

She was a star In human form Earth bound now

I'm living on Coffee, sugar, and spite Not necessarily in that order

Jack-o'-lantern grin with mischief As the ghost and ghouls parade Tread careful for the veil is thin

Leaves have turned And fallen to their death Bare branches sway

Spooks all about Flying free This all hallows' eve
