Persistence Of Existence
Stand or fall
Each step a journey
State the intention
It’s the persistence of existence
Ugly skies roll on
Anger filled air
Grabs at the lungs
Silencing sensible words
Reaching for nothing
Is this really failure
Tears seep through
The wall of fear
Footprints fade faster in the light
Running is no quicker
When the destination is a puzzle
Not yet deciphered
Conquering indifference
Is the answer
To every question
About ability
Each step a journey
State the intention
It’s the persistence of existence
Ugly skies roll on
Anger filled air
Grabs at the lungs
Silencing sensible words
Reaching for nothing
Is this really failure
Tears seep through
The wall of fear
Footprints fade faster in the light
Running is no quicker
When the destination is a puzzle
Not yet deciphered
Conquering indifference
Is the answer
To every question
About ability

Incomplete Human
Incomplete
I am incomplete
Driven crazy by the wrong wiring
The diagram not followed
Makes no difference now
Burned out circuit board
Leaving diagnosis irrelevant
Incomplete human
Faults within carry on
Regardless of feeling
The sound of grinding gears
Trying to engage understanding
Intermittent cohesion
Loss of concentration
Brings information overload
Just another degree of distress
Blind frustration
Under abnormal pressures
The friction of cells
So out...
I am incomplete
Driven crazy by the wrong wiring
The diagram not followed
Makes no difference now
Burned out circuit board
Leaving diagnosis irrelevant
Incomplete human

Regardless of feeling

Intermittent cohesion
Loss of concentration
Brings information overload
Just another degree of distress

Against The Grain
Uninvited
Came kicking and screaming
From the very start
I was uninvited
Bled dry of emotions
A devil dog barking hoarse
Kept on a leash to prevent injury
Consumed by ignorant pity
Wired to the indifference of the masses
Taught to do tricks
That kept me in line
Weird draws to much attention,
Following the steps provided
Only brought more confusion
A walking wheel of torture
Going nowhere beyond the chains given
Stripped to the bone
Look the same as every other skeleton ...
Came kicking and screaming

Weird draws to much attention,
Following the steps provided
Only brought more confusion
A walking wheel of torture
Going nowhere beyond the chains given
Stripped to the bone

another sleepless night
Another sleepless night
A went back in time litany of failures
What I wanted to do I never did
My happiest time was when living alone
In the interior of Algarve
I walked with my dogs in the woods had
Learned conversation with an oak
While the dog chased rabbits.
Six happy years what more can a man ask.
Turbulent water ahead I drank too much
The dog died, and my loneliness became a burden
Pressing me into apathy.
Well, life became tolerable again,
but my contentment was never the same.
My old house is standing there...
A went back in time litany of failures
What I wanted to do I never did
My happiest time was when living alone

I walked with my dogs in the woods had
Learned conversation with an oak
While the dog chased rabbits.
Six happy years what more can a man ask.
Turbulent water ahead I drank too much
The dog died, and my loneliness became a burden
Pressing me into apathy.
Well, life became tolerable again,
but my contentment was never the same.
My old house is standing there...

BEHIND THE MASK
Have you ever encounter someone that seems mentally stable that they got it all together but yet beneath the surface of there mind and heart and soul, lays a deeper dark secret that they are afraid to share with the world that would shock you to your very soul, for we all suffer from some kind of an disorder of some kind or another whether its mentally or emotional till we feel afraid to tell anyone or show anyone who and what we are in real life.

Running Water
Little ol on the spectrum me,
trying to be something I am not,
a mother.
How do I? What do I do?
There's a human, a son
he needs affection
not deflection
yet why is it beyond me?
I haven't grown since 15,
stunted, emotionally
and sadly this is all I can be
I've tried, I think.
Not sure of the right time
to reach for a hug so I don't
I talk shit because I am good at it
words are all I have, they are not enough
and break people.
The last time I hugged my best friend
was the day we...
trying to be something I am not,
a mother.

Understanding Chaos
By the time I realised
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving.
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I took
from where faces begin.
Nerves that strobe through conversations,
tin foil touches rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath my smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
A clever chameleon
only walks on one colour
his tongue doesn't take the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night ...
the puddle wasn't deep enough,
I was already diving.
A coiled serpent
displaced inside a ripple,
only going out to come back in
shedding my skins,
expressions I took
from where faces begin.
Nerves that strobe through conversations,
tin foil touches rubbed on metal filled teeth,
beneath my smile a whirlpool waits
to swallow each day,
the management of traits.
A clever chameleon
only walks on one colour
his tongue doesn't take the snow flake,
hides all day, awake all night ...

Final Solution Boomerang
See the label
Use the Instructions
Not to better understand
But how better to destroy
Disability is a scourge
Nothing more than a epidemic
Time to isolate
Use all resources to kill it
Genocide is nothing new
The 21st Century final solution,
Keep it in the dark
Under the guise of support
It’s not hard to believe
History has shown how easily it can be done
All it takes is people to look away
Then let the wrong thrive unchecked
Use the Instructions
Not to better understand
But how better to destroy
Disability is a scourge
Nothing more than a epidemic
Time to isolate
Use all resources to kill it
Genocide is nothing new
The 21st Century final solution,
Keep it in the dark
Under the guise of support
It’s not hard to believe
History has shown how easily it can be done
All it takes is people to look away
Then let the wrong thrive unchecked

Calming To Silence
Outside…
The noise is too much
It burns me
Never…
Seems to stop at all
A tide of unwanted emotions
Inside…
The battle for peace
Rages on
Feels…
So good
To be alone
To feel…
the solitude
Let my brain cool down
Let…
The swell of the emotional tide
Finally calming to silence
The noise is too much
It burns me
Never…
Seems to stop at all
A tide of unwanted emotions
Inside…
The battle for peace
Rages on
Feels…
So good
To be alone
To feel…
the solitude
Let my brain cool down
Let…
The swell of the emotional tide
Finally calming to silence

Inadvertently
Dinner parties were held
Family gathered there well
Parents made the home
The center of social life
From miles they'd come
They would always end up there
The root reason?
Son.
His brother's friends
Came there to jam
Sort of like I Am Sam, or Sam I Am
Air band to no end
Got on like mustard on ham
The root reason?
Brother.
Good parents
And good people
Because of family fellowship
And helping others
With jobs.
But alas, what was the root reason?
Son.

Here To Stay
Have you heard the news
We are here to stay
It’s those little things
That mark the road ahead
The headlines creep on up
Tit bits of truth
Every single day the box fills
Fate has brought us here
Don’t get deluded
This is no longer an illusion
Wake up!! autism has arrived
We walk among you unnoticed
No need to fix me
Perfectly capable of making mistakes
These little freedoms
Are my right as a human being
It all comes down to you
Not going to split in two
Just to...
