Puzzle pt. 2
July 5, 2019
Being in this foreign place scares me.
I don’t fit.
Like a lost jigsaw puzzle piece,
Trying to go home.
I end up in another puzzle.
I don’t fit.
Am I supposed to fit?
Strangers look at me.
Question If I’m okay.
If I’m supposed to be here.
I’m not.
I’m supposed to be snug.
With everyone else.
Like everyone else.
With my ends fitting with someone else.
With my colours blended.
No.
No,
I am not supposed to be here.
No,
I am not supposed to fit here.
But…
Is it all that bad?
I may not be able to fit here,
But you can’t start a new puzzle
Without a starting piece.
