A GHOST

A ghost might not always be a villain

By Rose Maria RoyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I have read many stories about a ghost,

all had the ghost as the villain.

Is it really true, is the ghost really a villain?

I was not same as the other kids,

I enjoyed the dark, I also looked for a ghost.

But even after looking my whole childhood,

I never found a ghost, then how did the others see it.

How did the people know that the ghost was a villain,

if no one had seen it, how did they know?

How did they know how they were.

How did people know that these ghost liked the darkness?

It was when I grew up, I got the answers.

It was not the ghosts that haunted people,

it was the liars of the world, who only aimed to see fear in others.

    How completely true. I have encountered many ghosts (yes, I believe in them and have seen my share) but it is definitely the liars who haunt our souls. (was married to one). I would prefer the ghosts to liars.
