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.

I really like this poem a lot! Love the comparison to a 5,000 piece puzzle! Well done. Keep on penning.

I enjoyed this. Nice analogy, and you elaborated on it well. A lot of "missings" in the middle, though. Maybe "lacking"?

Mine to is a puzzle, of great and simple pieces,
These things i cannot solve, or is it I that can't evolve,
My mind i have involved, but never have i found the pieces, for this mystery to solve.

Life is made up of many moments and we as individuals have many layers... now how they fit is left up to us, it is the challenge that helps us grow.

Nice poem. I wonder how many of those 5000 pieces represent joy?
