Silent cries,
Sad smiles,
With closed eyes,
She shuts herself from the world.
Always hiding behind a wall...
Friends ask me why do I bother?
What is it that I see?
I would tell them a broken girl,
They find it puzzling.
But I found my missing piece,
One that completes me,
The last piece that binds me together.
It's hard to accept,
But I have no regrets.
I'm looking for change,
But she's the only one that makes sense,
Because behind those walls I see a castle...
I felt Puzzling Piece was a good choice of play on.
I wrote this poem because most people have a mentality of shunning away from people that are depressed and pessimistic. To some extent it is true that those people can only bring you down and lower your confidence and self esteem. However, they can also build your character in strengthening your will and faith. Not only that, but to be able to change their perspective on life is a reward in itself. So yes negative people can bring you down, but only if you allow it. Your mind is own.
