I am the puzzle
that is always missing a piece
People try and attempt to solve me
If I'm lucky, I get someone for the real deal
but here's the thing,
as they're about to finish the puzzle
get a look of the actual picture

...another piece goes missing.

I feel like I'm encased in a glass box of emotion.
Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
On display for the world to see,
Like a toy doll waiting for a home.
People look at me,
But no one really sees me.
All they notice is a pretty face,
But I am so much more than that.
I have a story.
I have a tale to tell.
But no one really cares enough
To stop and listen.
Everyone is too caught up in their own problems,
Struggles,
Worries,
Sadness.
They never really open their eyes,
And see the world around them.
I have no one to turn to,
No one to talk to.
I am in complete,
Utter
Solitude.
Everyday,
I see the same things,
Hear the same things,
Do the same things,
It is all so repetitive.
I want to escape the clutches
Of this claustrophobic hell,
And finally be known for who I really am.
Someday, I will grasp the hammer in my own hands,
And smash this glass box open.
Let the world see the truth to my story,
Let them read me like an open book.
.....
But that day is not today.
Right now,
I am just a showcase.
But I am planning,
Prepping,
Waiting,
For the day I finally break free.
Broken windows,
All this glass,
Some things don't just fix on their own,
Ripped skin, tired looks,
I'm so tired of feeling like this,
Where up is just a place where you look from down,
I just thought for once you'd be around,
I'm laying in bed wondering,
If I'll ever get back up,
I've just had a eighty hour week,
I guess it's what I have to do,
But I still made time for you,
I can't stop thinking about how
You're breaking my heart,
But I guess it's something you need to do,
I guess I can't blame you.
I didn't feel the flutter of your feet,
I didn't hear your cry,
But I felt you,
Our hearts shared the same chords,
You are the only one who's ever touched my soul,
I don't know how this happened,
It breaks my heart to know I'll never see your sweet face,
Or hear you sweet little laugh,
I can only imagine your beauty,
Or the way you'd play with your daddy,
I don't know why things happened like this,
My heart will never beat in the right tune,
Because I never got to have you.
A drinker should hold all of the doubt
For a prayer is what one lives without
And with what underlay may cause one to spout
The pain one has felt at the brow
Though escape of the fearful is that which one envisions of
Frightenings and nightmares are relinquished smug
Light projected as a flying white dove
Is thou who may be safe with a gun
