Missing Puzzle Pieces

My life is like a puzzle,

5,000 pieces

filled with joy

and pain

while overcoming the storm

and rain

but pieces seem

to be missing,

missing from my life,

things that should be there 

are missing in action

I thought these things 

could piece themselves

back together,

but I realized I need 

to do it myself,

to make sure

these pieces fit as one

while I piece my 

crazy life back together

one puzzle piece at a time...

Puzzle with 5000 pieces? Oh GOD. I have trouble with the puzzles in Kinder Eggs.

On topic, I enjoyed this. Concise and to the point with a strong metaphor. The only criticism I have is that font. Comic Sans is so ugh, however it doesn't really detract from the poem being good. I just cringe at the sight of it.

Yeah, 5,000 pieces. That's a lot of time to put something back together, but regardless, this was emotional powerful piece. Great write!

It couldn't put your life together if my life depended on it. I've never been able to finish any puzzle with more than 500 pieces :)

Interesting; to see the image as a jigsaw puzzle (and I suppose it's just the sort of image you get in jigsaw puzzles; too much sky!)... Definitely there is a strong connection between the puzzle and the complexity of life -- and of course the structure of the pier itself is of the same character. And, unlike the kind of puzzles that come in a box, this poem is more accessible and has a wider age group...! And, more importantly, a significant meaning.

Everyone is a puzzle to me; however, I have to agree my puzzle has the most pieces and no matter what I do, there always seems to be some missing pieces that I just can't seem to find. Maybe, those pieces were missing from the box, when I came into this world as a puzzle. LOL! Seriously, though, a great piece of writing!!

Our lives are truly like puzzle's and I feel like this has a say in everyone's puzzle. Everyone has something missing something they really need and we journey through life trying to find them. Very well written I enjoyed it very much.
