Puzzle Pieces

We are each a piece

Of the larger whole

Puzzle pieces

Struggling to discover

Where we fit in

Our edges so convoluted

That finding each person

Who fits into our life

Making those connections

Is a lifetime endeavor

Sometimes you find

A person you think

Is the perfect fit to you

Only to discover

On closer inspection

That they were never right

In that place

And it isn’t until you realize this

And remove them from the place

They had occupied in error

That you can finally find

The person meant to be there

All along
