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
