The Puzzle of Life

Sometimes people are like puzzles.

From far away you see the beautiful picture,

all put together.

But if you look closely you might see

the cracks along the pieces,

and the spaces in between.

We have put on a front for the world,

We want them to see the beautiful picture

of painted on perfection.
But we are flawed,
chronically so,

in believing this is the only way people want to see us.

But sometimes it's okay to be flawed.

This life IS a beautiful picture,
and when we find the things we love
to patch over our cracks,

and beautiful souls to fill in our voids,

we will become whole in the end.
