Pieces of Me
Each person you meet in this life,
takes a piece of you you can never get back,
you struggle to find who you are,
while investing in others,
to form what could be a great life,
and yet,
we hesitate,
we yearn for a belonging,
we search for a completion from others,
as we take a piece of them with us as well,
each piece is a chip off the old block,
we chip away at each other with no known reason,
but to build a whole from shards of broken hearts,
we pick and pick and pick,
and to lose yourself piece by piece,
is just life's journey,
towards whatever comes next.
to put yourself back together...
