Some just can’t stay
It’s a lesson learned
Likely as a child
For me it was
Spike a roughhousing cat
Why he had to
Go I’ll never know
And throughout my life
Others followed him to
Where I’ll never know
But as I age
I do know this
That wherever they have
Gone that I will
Too one day follow
Just once I’d like
What the movies show
Or greeting cards say
And the fairytales promise
But always seems to
Forget its own lines
And stealing the show
Leaving me to improvise
And play the fool
I do understand Autumn
I don’t understand Fall
I enjoy the colors
But not their result
I love the hope
But never the despair
I await the invitation
But then not always
Why does love too
Seem to always be
A double edged sword
Cutting in all directions
Once making its mark
The other its scar
Oh now come on
Who doesn’t want a
Super power to be
Able to do things
Others cannot the only
Difference between a super
Power and an abomination
Is a person’s desire
To have be do
Even if you’re born
That very special way
We simply don’t exist
If existence is recognizable
We are us is
Invisible assigned to the
Realm of ghosts not
Angels oh angels everyone
Wants to see someday
But us we you
And me people fear
Avoid because we’re different
