Still looking for my baby Luca!
He is an orange tabby cat about 10 lbs and 2.5 years old.
Last seen on Fox Island on 12/23/16.
He was last seen wearing a white/greyish flea collar with a phone number written in permanent marker on it.
My baby Luca is an indoor/outdoor cat and has been roaming the neighborhood of Fox Island for about 1.5 years now.
Everyone knows him and everyone knows he has a home.
He's the coolest most friendliest cat so if you took him I don't blame you, but please give him back.
We love and miss him and the kids are going crazy without him.
I swear he has a very good and loving home.
Give him back and no questions will be asked, we just want our baby kitty back.

To Heal
Like for like
close enough to hear the voice
similar scars
provide the wisdom to touch a heart
secrets long held
released to the arms of a friend
shame released
with grace given to feel the light
equals in pain
each standing enough to lend a hand
no longer alone
when the excluded is seen as a norm
mentor found
to show the path beyond the shame
counselors trade
reciprocal gifts with stories shared
voice released
from the chains of isolation
no holds barred
the stigmas are ours to heal.

Help!
I can't say why.
Rather, don't know how
My voice is filled with the untold
But my silence, carries a weight to behold.
Can you see it?
The burden on my luggage?
Can you feel it?
The shaking of my spirit?
Can you taste it?
The tanginess of bleeding nonstop?
Can you savour the scent?
Of future decay?
Can you read this?
I am dying
And no one cared enough
To believe that I am.
I am reaching out,
But no one is looking
To pick me up.
I am here,
But no one knows
And here I wait.
I can't say why.
Rather, don't know how
My voice is filled with the untold
But my silence, carries a weight to behold.
Can you see it?
The burden on my luggage?
Can you feel it?
The shaking of my spirit?
Can you taste it?
The tanginess of bleeding nonstop?
Can you savour the scent?
Of future decay?
Can you read this?
I am dying
And no one cared enough
To believe that I am.
I am reaching out,
But no one is looking
To pick me up.
I am here,
But no one knows
And here I wait.
my broken wing
Help me, I'm dying
or help me to die
Tell me which way
is shorter to hell
My past has no future
My mind is gone
Someone is smashing my safety shell
I'm fucking dying
Noone cares
What if I'm lying
This lie is intense
Help me, I'm dying
or help me to die
Tell me which way
is shorter to hell
My past has no future
My mind is gone
Someone is smashing my safety shell
I'm fucking dying
Noone cares
What if I'm lying
This lie is intense
Help
You helped me to the point
I didn’t need your help anymore
You became surplus to requirements
No longer an assistant offering help
I thought long and hard about your help
I helped you by taking your help
Help is most certainly a two way process
You got help from helping me
You received some satisfaction
My need for help bolstered your ego
It made you feel good about yourself
You helped me get physically better
You aided my mental health issues
You assisted my ego and self-esteem
You made me realise your help was pricey
And the cost you expected to exact
It is now me helping you understand
I no longer want this kind of help
I want to help you to understand
I am helping you disappear from my life
Now fuck off
You helped me to the point
I didn’t need your help anymore
You became surplus to requirements
No longer an assistant offering help
I thought long and hard about your help
I helped you by taking your help
Help is most certainly a two way process
You got help from helping me
You received some satisfaction
My need for help bolstered your ego
It made you feel good about yourself
You helped me get physically better
You aided my mental health issues
You assisted my ego and self-esteem
You made me realise your help was pricey
And the cost you expected to exact
It is now me helping you understand
I no longer want this kind of help
I want to help you to understand
I am helping you disappear from my life
Now fuck off
