Orange and Black

I am sounded By everything, Orange pumpkins Candy everywhere People in masks Coming up to you, trying to scare you, But they are the ones running away Caring the colors of orange and black on me Walking down the street, Repeating the same words over and over "Trick or Treat" And an occasional stern look With the words "thanks...can I have some blood?" I have colored contacts in, And fake fangs, To frighten everyone Or at least, that's what they think What could they possibly see? That scares them so badly? A I continue to walk down the street, Everything disappears As I am submerged in darkness Finally heading home To an old, big, creepy house up the road, and around the corner Where the real treat is!
