You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

UNTITLED: In progress

wear a sweather
that fits the weather
find your boots, gloves and hats
we know they match your black cats

when we're in the mood
we eat a lot of food
turkey, cherry, pumpkin pie
you can see that on my thigh

dress up like a queen
when it's halloween
go for trick and treats
and remember to eat all your sweets

go enjoy the leaves that fall
pick them up and spread them all
yellow, orange, red and brown
thats the colors they are now

by Emina, Emma and Silje

UNTITLED: in progress

We're white and pale
This isn't a fairy tale
The moon rises slowly
Almost glory and holy

We hear the death scream
It's dark -it's Halloween.

Demons and dolls
Dead bodies, old skulls
Gravestones and graveyards
Its getting dark

Annabelle's hiding, it's kinda frightening
But we don't really care
Just trying to prepare,
for death, for knives
just trying to survive the night
