In a Dark Room For Halloween

It was the night of Halloween
I danced, all alone in my room
Dressed up as the great Queen


I found not any peace
Why my mind was wild and loose
It sought out to find my heart's lost peace

I stopped short, when it did happen
My wardrobe door did open
And out came a ghoul

His breath was foul
When he did speak thus
Pray, be not scared

I am here to instruct you
The life you do live is not true
So do learn to enjoy and love it

Love it in its every bit
Love each step that you do beat
For it shall not be given twice

Be still not scared
For you I shall throw this dice
The result shall be the outcome of your life

In a dark dark room, for Halloween
While I danced, all dressed up as the queen
My life was built up, by a most foul ghoul

The outcome was not horrible
I did learn to be sensible
Life, filled with thorns, can also be lovely!

The ghoul did go back into the wardrobe
I never saw him again
But I did learn to love this life of pain!

Lived only once it is
It shall someday be over
Someday, I shall be in a world, yonder!

Cool, I like the way you mixed in halloween with the moral of living only once. Best of luck if you are entering this in the contest, :)
