Stitches

Stitches

A Poem by Jared Michael Smith
"

Who am I, really?

"
Puzzle pieces,
Sown together at the joints,
Nothing more
Nothing less.
Struggling to be more
But feeling like less,
The world tears
At my stitching,
Threatens to pull me
Apart at the seams.
But then,
Who will I be?
What will I be?
A pile of broken pieces,
Never to fit together again.
But then again,
Was I ever whole?
Was I ever me?
Suddenly,
It's there,
I see it,
The truth that I craved
For so long.
And yet...
And yet...
the knowledge is
Bitter,
Bitter and nothing else.
I was just
Puzzle pieces,
Sown together at the joints,
Nothing more
Nothing less.

I know it's a bit all-over-the-place, but I felt like that's how this type of poem should go, y'know, stream of consciousness and all that jazz... Anyways, what do you think I can do to improve it?

I'm a pretty mild-mannered guy who enjoys composing poetry, playing video games, and drawing portraits. I don't think my writing's that good, but some of the people I have had read tell me otherwise... more..
