I have canceled
the fear of what you think
of what I may think
or what I may be
what you make of me
whether I am unsophisticated
because I have never been to Paris
I have canceled
the fear of your judgment
of what I believe
or cannot believe
I believe in ghosts
or at least the possibility of
your opinions will no longer scare us

prompts
"I canceled..."
Write a duodora about a human attribute that irritates you and put a Halloween spin on it. Snobbishness and closed-mindedness are two attributes that grind my gears. Ghosts are associated with Halloween.
General theme of Samhain and those who have departed the material world.
"What is Paris to you?"
In this case, it's a concept used to convey an idea or emotion.
"Do I believe in ghosts?"
I believe in the possibility of ghosts, and I've seen some shit.
I don't care if you believe in ghosts or not. I don't have any intention of arguing with anyone about it. I'm just tired of people with "my way or the highway" attitudes and closed minds.
