This is one of the best article's I have seen written about halloween. It addresses some issues that I was never quite able to verbalize but thought about.

Do I have kind words
For my enemy
When the largest foe I fight
Is inside of me?
Can I speak kindly to the chaos

Falling to my demons?
Dare I attempt to reconcile

Can I find my courage,
Step past the false assumptions
That I mistook as truth?
Can I speak the words;
Salvage tattered dreams;
Bring lasting peace to my soul?
Do I have kind words
For my enemy?
