Pieces of You

Pieces of You

---

It's not easy.

Is it?

Having to leave it all behind.

Forcing yourself to be the change.

Turning yourself into something different.

Something unlike the rest of your family.

A new name.

A new life.

A new home.

A new family..

Except you’re still working on that last part.

Aren’t you?

Sometimes I wonder.

What if I disappeared from your life.

For a year.

Or maybe two.

What would you do?

How would you change?

Because you don’t need me.

And we both know it.

I’m merely another lesson.
Just a less painful one.

I could collect the pieces of you.

And fit them into a puzzle. 

But someone else will find the puzzle of you.

And hang it up on a wall.

Declaring it a work of art.

My point is..

You shouldn’t get attached.

Not to someone like me.

Because in the end.

It isn’t worth it.
