It Doesn't Make Us Like You

It doesn't make us like you

The comments behind our backs

It doesn't make us like you

To comment on our shorts or our pants

It doesn't make us like you

To be scared to wear leggings

Do you think it does?

Or do you do if for your friends?

Because it doesn't make us like you

And its not "cool" to make girls feel less

And its not "cool" to make your dumb comments

And it sure doesn't make us like you,

No it does the opposite

So if you show your affection

By bringing others down,

Just know it doesn't makes us like you

All it does is spark hatred

So don't comment on our bodies

And be the bigger person

Because it doesn't make us like you

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't understand

    How he won again

    I don't think I want to understand

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • 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
