My Cat Louie

My cat Louie is a most handsome cat
of orange and white fur and
bright yellow eyes 
Long white whiskers too

He follows me around the house 
Where I am he is sure to follow 
He speaks in bird
Which means his meow is more
like a chirp

I swear he has dog in him
The post man comes and
Louie growls at him
When the ring goes off
He first growls and then 
runs to check who set it off

He must come to my bedroom 
whenever I am in there
He lays out on my bed
and digs his head in my
night clothes 

He must be held in my arms 
at least a few times a day
If this is not done then he 
jumps into my lap and
plops down right there
Falling asleep immediately 

Louie is also the destroyer 
of many a blind
No blind can go unharmed 
for he must see outside 
at all times

Louie is my cat
I love him so 
He returns my love ten fold
Nothing can change 
the connection we have

Why Am I Here

The depression is strong
Sometimes I wonder why
I was even born
I’m nothing but a stressor 
in most people life

I make one mistake after
another in life
I keep thinking I found 
love just to have my
heart ripped out and
handed me on a silver platter

Why am I here
Why am I even alive
I’m nothing but a burden 
to everyone in my life

I’d be better off dead
rather than alive
Yet I am still here
even when I don’t 
want to be

I just keep asking myself 
these days “Why am I here?”
I would like to know

The Evil Called Thanos

Thanos wanted to bring
chaos to the world 
He thought if he could 
wipe out half of everything 
it would bring balance

Thor tried to make sure
that Thanos didn’t get
the stone within the 
tesseract but Loki
gave it right into his 
hands and he snapped 
his neck in the process 

The Avengers tried every
way possible to keep 
Thanos from getting the
Infinity stones

Thanos was always a step 
ahead of the game 
So many of the Avengers
lost to Thanos when
he snapped his fingers
with the Infinity gauntlet on

For 5 years they were
snapped out of existence 
Thanos had gotten what 
he wanted but was it
all it was cracked up to be

Thanos hid out on a planet
for 5 years after the snap
Eventually Thor, Ironman, Black Widow
and a few others caught up 
With him

The Infinity gauntlet was permanently 
fused to his hand and didn’t work 
anymore. So Thor decided to cut
Thanos arm to get the gauntlet 
so Tony Stark could find a way
to restore it

Then Thor beheaded Thanos.
That was not his end though.
That was not Thanos
end game yet

I Am Autistic

Finally found out why
I felt so different for years
Why I felt like I was
always outside looking in
Why my communication 
skills were never the best

It only took 43 years of
my life for someone 
to confirm this for me
That Autistic is what 
I definitely am

I don’t see it as a bad thing
Just an explanation of why
I was so different from
everyone else

It explains why I am not
a leader but always 
the follower
Which can get you in
trouble just as well

I’m not mad it took
people this long to figure it out 
It’s not doctors fault
they knew nothing about autism 
in 1987 when I was going 
through tests for dyslexia 
and learning disabilities 

I am autistic and I’m proud 
I support those like me
and love to help them out
I am autistic and I don’t care
what other people think
I am autistic so just deal with it

No Time For Toxic People

I’m tired of people trying to 
walk all over me and use me
I’m tired of peoples lies
to try and suck you into 
whatever trouble they
are fixing to start
I’m so tired of all the
rumors and untruths
that people tell just 
to get you in serious trouble 
I’m just sick of how people 
act in this day and age
I don’t got time
for negativity in my
life anymore 
I definitely have
no time for toxic people 
They can disappear 
and leave me alone

Autumn On the Wind

You can smell Autumn on the wind
as the leaves change from green
to yellow, red and orange
Eventually to fall to the ground 
for you to have to rake up

You rake the leaves into 
nice, big piles
You decide before you bag them
to have a little fun

You take a flying leap
straight into the middle of
the pile of your choosing 
sending leaves of every 
color in all directions 

It gives you more work 
as you rake up the mess you made
But you had fun in the moment 
On this cool Autumn day

Rain

Replenishing the dry land
And helping to fill the lakes and streams
In the mouth of thirsty animals it goes
Never ending cycle of water

The Truth Comes Out

I have been fighting a battle
One that I have told few about 
that sent my life into a whirl spin
Something that caused depression 
to rear its ugly head

For the last 7 months I was 
in a court battle based on
many untruths
Saying I initiated a relationship 
that I did not with a young 
autistic man

He actually pursued me and
I fell for every lie that came
out of his mouth
Spent almost 2 days in
jail because of this 

Almost got a 9 year jail sentence too
because said young man’s grandmother 
said a bunch of lies making it
sound like he was a victim 
but in all actuality the victim 
in this whole thing was me

During this whole escapade 
I went through many evaluations 
One of which proved I was an
high functioning autistic woman 
with social/emotional issues 
Proving also without a doubt
I was the victim in this 
whole thing 
and he was the perpetrator 

Tonight after many meetings 
between my lawyer and the prosecutor 
They decided to drop the charges 
against me and the case is over
The prosecutor finally figured out 
I was not the guilty person in this 
I was the one manipulated and used

The truth about the matter
finally came out
I’m finally free of all this
turmoil and stress
They finally listened 
Now the truth is out

Lonely

Sometimes I just feel 
I want to be single 
for the rest of my life
because of how many
times my heart has been broken 

At other times I feel so lonely 
I wish I had someone to hold me
Give me kisses on a rough day
Say, “I love you forever and always”
Someone to live out my days with 

I know people say you have
your family and friends 
But even when they are 
around I get that feeling
of loneliness 

I want to feel what they feel
Feel that feeling of being loved
by the one you will spend 
the rest of your life with 

At this point in my life
I doubt that will ever happen
So a loner is what I will
be for the foreseeable future

Love Isnt Real

You think you found the one
It isn’t the first time either 
You trust them completely 
You tell them everything 
you would tell the one
you thought you would 
spend your life with 

Next thing you know 
everything goes to hell
in a hand basket 
Once again love slips
through your fingers
It turns out to be
all a lie once again

When will you ever learn
maybe the one isn’t out there
Maybe your meant to be alone
Love isn’t even real
All it is heartache
One big lie in life
