It's Halloween

Do things seem to get creepier 
     Around this time of year?
Suddenly like all surroundings
     Seem to cater to your every fear. 

Everything becomes alot spookier 
     Even shadows begin to take form. 
The time of year unexplainable things
     Mysteriously become the new norm. 

Sounds, normally not thought about
     Especially in the light of day. 
Suddenly seem to be amplified
     When the last ray of light goes away. 

Look over there in the darkness.
     Just beyond the lantern's light. 
Where sanity somehow escapes us.
     And things go bump in the night. 

Darkness.... A breeding ground for evil?
    Are you sure what's been heard or seen?
Are your eyes and ears playing tricks on you?
    After all... It's only Halloween.
