Puzzle Of Us

Strange how quickly we forget
Where all the little pieces went
The place from whence we came before
Now locked behind the heavy door

We're so distraught by all the sadness
So taken back by all the madness
We look around with empty hearts
At the puzzle of us that's come apart

But we can mend our shattered souls
Arrange the pieces to fill these holes
And once we start we'll realize
How we were blinded by all the lies

We thought our lives were fading fast
But we have the power to make them last
Remember the pattern of the puzzle we had
Before it was broken and we felt so bad

Slowly but surely we'll mend ourselves
Hang our finished pieces back on our shelves
Then we'll have pride in what we have become
And cherish the day that we finally won

Wonderful rhythm and rhyme to this piece. Such a beautiful message within vivid imagery. You metaphor was indeed accurate and well worked out. I particularly like the third stanza, it really shows the strength and dedication of humans to fix themselves when they realize their flaws or that they're falling apart. The opening stanza really drew the audience in, I especially liked the image of the heavy door, very vivid and blunt. Well done.

This is going into my favorites. This was uplifting and emotional, and I could realate to every single word in it. Amazing.

Yay...this was a little more upbeat and hopeful, I like that. Just got to find where we fit...I don't think I'm a corner piece, I may be the lost piece so we can't finish the puzzle.

An excellent piece! Very uplifting and strong... soft, but strong. I love the analogy of the puzzle. It works great with your thoughts. Enjoyed this much.

This is so true and beautifully written love:) Those pieces, all fragments of the self, just wanting, waiting to be piece together again, or for the first time.
Each piece containing a little of the self and the kiss of life!
Wonderful work hon
