Do you ever just want to be a part

A piece in their puzzle

The one that makes them whole

Not a piece in the corner though

Not a piece that can be taken off

Not a piece that's all one color

But a piece in the center of it all

Surrounded by those who love you

But a piece that is tied down by others

Joined by those who care

But a piece with so many colors

Together making the puzzle whole

Do you ever feel like you don’t belong

A piece that's broken

A piece that's been bent

To fit in

To fill the void

To take up empty space

But you don't fit

You weren’t made to fit

At least not there

Who makes a piece

Without a puzzle

But it wouldn't be a puzzle if it was easy

If it was simple

If it was obvious

Your puzzle is not 100 pieces

Your puzzle is not 1000 pieces

Your puzzle is millions of pieces

All different

All unique

All waiting for you

We are all born different, not one of us like the other. Each one of us are made with different looks and different minds. We may all be different but that's what makes us so beautiful. If you had a mosaic with all red tiles or all blue tiles there would be no picture, no end result, no beauty. But say you have red tiles and blue tiles and teal tiles and purple tiles. All together these tiles make the most beautiful picture and tell the most rich story. More often than not we feel as if we do not belong or we simply don't fit. We feel as if we've been bent and forced into the wrong spot or group. We don't always get it on the first try but our picture is out there waiting for us. Who you are is made up by a series of choices and decisions. As you go throughout life your piece is changing and molding. It's not easy. It's not simple to find where we fit in, but if it were simple there would be no mystery, no excitment, no puzzle.
