A Completed Puzzle
I learned to find entertainment by myself
Only one to depend on was myself
For the rest of my life
No matter who comes in your life
Even with the largest amount of love
You will still find yourself only having you
Shouting at my foggy reflection to stop trying
For only if someone could give you a break
A shoulder to rest on
To stop trying to give away your self-love
For someone who can’t even love themself
Trying and caring leads to the shattering heartbreak
You can’t handle picking up the pieces
One by one
Pieces rearranging
Not knowing how you’re going to turnout
Reattaching the missing parts of yourself
That have drifted away
That you gave away
Hoping to fill someone else with love
You yourself
Only have you to depend on
One of the most challenging lessons
Most of us end up facing
Some of us will end up finding that shoulder
End up moving in and staying
Comfort and warmth forever
But some of us will be like birds
Independent birds we will be
Instead of building a nest to lay eggs in
We shall fly far and wide
Searching and experiencing
What this downward spiral of a world we live
Could possibly have to offer
In the process hopefully
You find something--really anything
Maybe make it a little bit easier
To stand up straight
Without the fight of falling
The light ahead of us is bright and blinding
Almost so blinding the chances of crashing
Are great we might not get back up
Some of us never want to adventure that
But in the light can come answers
With answers is clarity
I’m peace and tranquility
As I’m staring at my newfounded
Visible reflection
I’m a completed puzzle
