Puzzle Pieces

Puzzle pieces of a family
Expected to fit within each other
Line up as a perfect match for the final picture
Displaying impeccable designs flowing together
Their distinctable puzzle had wear and tear
Taping the broken and bent pieces together
Ignoring the neglect of the stepped on pieces
Ones that were torn apart, glued together, 
Expecting to be viewed the same
The smaller pieces trying to fill the bigger gaps,
Larger pieces try to squeeze into their tiny spaces
Trying to get out if taking responsibility, 
By filling in an easier role in the puzzle 
A development of strategy begins
Meetings with new pieces of tape, 
Other types of glue to fix the problem
Not even duct tape can solve this puzzle
Distant glazing may appear a little blurry, 
But up close, it's taped repetitive times
The pieces no longer flows from one to another
