A combination of Free Verse and Rhyme
"Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life."
I grew up a girl with lots of missing pieces,
and I am still an unsolved mystery;
oh, if I could gather them all,
all the pretty colors and hues of me.
All the pieces of my journey have been scattered,
and have left my soul shattered and tattered;
leaving me questions and query,
with no answers that leave me quite teary.
Life can be just jagged, broken, fragmented pieces,
ups, downs- frustration that never ceases;
some pieces open a flood gate,
to discovering this life's true purpose and fate.
I collect all the pieces that I find in life,
all the lost, weird, odd, and tattered pieces;
and I will always be searching,
for the corners, frame and inside of my puzzle.
"Its all the odd shaped pieces, all the missing
ones, that will create the masterpiece that is me."
