Candy and cauldrons.
The hoot of owls,
Makes all dogs howl.
Mummies in tombs,
Witches on brooms.
Most spirits haunt,
During full moons.
Scary screams,
Of skeletons in dreams,
These are the things,
That turn my blood green.
Spells, spiders,
Potions and cider.
Watch where you tread,
For you might stand on the dead,
And wake them from their stony beds.
Trick or treat?
What will you eat,
On this day that the dead come alive?
This is All Hallows Eve.

Foreword: Before anyone reads this, please bear in mind that this is purely based on personal opinion and that these are MY cosplay guidelines, and they do not necessarily apply to you. I may get a tad bitchy and offensive during this list and I only do that to make my point clear. I expect to be ridiculed for this list. I say come. And now the list. These are not so much guidelines as tips. These mainly apply to cosplaying in public or for a convention or for photos to be placed on the internet.

To give you that of which you dream, young one,
To pour out your soul and let it all go.
And all itll cost is a little (a lot of) pride.
Theres a way to release it, silly kid,
Just open your mouth and pour it all out.
It might be a bit painful, dear infant,
But all itll cost is a little (a lot of) pride.
Theres a way to free yourself, lil moron,
A way to unclench your fears, small idjit,
To no longer hold onto cowardice,
And all itll cost is a little (a lot of) pride.

In my dreams,
But it's all new to me.
What are these feelings?
My head is reeling.
What does it mean?
I search for answers.
Nothing's coming.
Always running,
Chasing shadows
I thought I had it.
I'm in knee deep.
I wake up.
I've sunk too far.
You are not there.
I still don't know,
But I'm content.
I'll dream again tonight.

My mind's half asleep.
I've been laying here all night,
Trying not to weep.
I don't know what I'm crying for.
I can't figure life out.
What am I waiting for?
What's with this doubt?
Dazing, I doze.
This twilight mode of dancing shades
Somehow comforts me.
Then my phone rings.
Startled I wake.
My hand gropes for my cell.
Half in and half out
This sleep I try to dispel.
Groggy and tired,
My lips try to form words,
But nothing comes out.
I remain unheard.
My mouth opens and closes,
But no sounds resound.
Then my throat gurgles and bubbles,
And I lay my tongue down.
"Hello," I croak into the recei

Taking heed to the panicked mantra continually played in her head, Katlyn schooled her face to show only curiosity rather than the dread she felt at the Turks potentially already finding her out as she asked, "Yes?"
As the future leader of the Turks adjusted the cuffs of his sleeves, Tseng responded, "May I have a moment of your time? I just want to ask a few questions."
THAT doesn't sound good. "Sure, I guess. What did you want to know?" Katlyn replied, shrugging her shoulders. She once again sent a word of thanks to Minerva's assistants for forcing her to go through all those acti

Is this how the phrase butterflies was coined?
Preposterous! I feel NO such things!
A mere moment of queasiness!
It must be my lunch settling within me wrong!
And then you open your mouth.
Whats this whats this?
My eyes, how do they stray not from your face?
Why do I have this sudden urge ?
No, no! I cannot think such IMMORAL things!
Something possesses me to do so thats right!
Some stronger, divine being must be toying with my mind!
Words flow out.

See me open.
See me close.
I'm dressed in beauty,
But don't be deceived,

But i'm still standing.
Just watch me laugh
As you have your fun.

Rip my petals off,

Or you can go right,
But you decide
To stay one more night.
And in that night
You see a vision from above
Of shooting stars
And God's love.
But then
Your flame goes out.
No more light
In this dark night.
It was your choice to make.
Now day breaks.
A fork in the road
Is now your delay.
Two different paths,
Two different ways.
Try for the top
Or the grass in the plains.
It's your choice to make.
Which do you choose?
The sky
Or the ground?
Climbing up to the top?
Or keeping stable ground.
One last look
Back to the birdge,
Can't turn around,
Can't burn it down.
It's your choice to make.

As you look at me
Is one and true.
What about you?
Can you say that same?
Can you survive this game?
I didn't expect it.
My reality rejects it.
This crushing blow
Was aimed so low.
But still I stand,
A fist as a hand.
Round one is over.
You blew your cover.
Now I know
The way you flow.
A shark shows off his teeth,
But I've got a knife underneath.
I never saw you coming,
But now I see you running.
Round two begins.
How's it gonna end?
It was your game to make,
Now it's my turn to break.

Let's take these feelings and make them substance. Give them a name and a life, removed from ourselves.
Let's create something that will make you sad just by looking at it, because loneliness hurts best when it's shared.
Let's call it art, and hope for something more.
But let's do it somewhere else, it's so fucking quiet here.

Every life a work of art
Each one of us is special
Heaven gave us all a heart
Every soul is on a journey
We touch everyone we've known
And that's what really matters
Because there's nothing else we own
Every soul is on a journey
We're all aiming for the sun
Searching for fulfillment
It's the same for everyone
Every soul is on a journey
Some flying in the sky
Others yet have fallen
And feel like they could die
Every soul is on a journey
Some peace and joy have found
And yet for many others
Falling tears the only sound
Every soul is on a journey
And every step it is a lesson

Our art may get a lot of shit
It isn't for people of all kinds
It is what it will always be
And we will not change
Our art is our own creativity
