love me please
for who I am, not
to please you,
love me for
all the right reasons I ask,
I want the real thing

no costume
I hate dressing up
I am me
no one else
don’t believe in changing me
to suit anyone

masks reveal
nothing that’s inside
meant to hide
all our flaws
this keeps the real you hidden
applies to us all

pumpkins lie
strewn around in lots
bright orange
some rotting
the weather surrounding them
time for Halloween

fall brings cold
weather is changing
day by day
night by night
always unpredictable
always waiting to see

disrupted
stroke takes your being
life may stop
may go on
have no control, wreaks damage
unpredictable

miss the warmth
as fall progresses
darker skies
far less sun
parents lighting fires at nigh
banishing the shadows
