THE PUZZLE OF MY LIFE

Don’t worry how others live their lives

Or how their life should be,

Let their pieces fix themselves

That is their worry, their destiny.

The broken pieces of your life

Like a jigsaw puzzle, confused,

Trying so desperately to fix it right

Can’t think, how your mind is fused.

But we think we can repair the damage

Of another person’s life,

That we are experts to tell them

 How they should deal with strife.

Don’t even try, it’s impossible

With THEIR lives you have NO control,

Your puzzle pieces, so broken

It’s YOURSELF you need to console!!!

Take each piece and feel its shape

Each curve is your journey long,

Turn it to fit inside the puzzle piece

Bit by bit it will make you strong.

A puzzle has many pieces, crooked, curved and straight

And the only pieces you need to fix are your very own,

Each intricate piece eventually, will fall right into place

When done, smile and see just how much you’ve really grown.
