Bell sighs, ding-dong.
Adrenaline of my exam dies.
Fingers cry, holding pen so long.
Straight to home, I want to be alone.
Behind, I leave the strangers all along.
So much chatter,
Beautiful faces, styles, and flair
Lips glossy, happy eyes,
Smiling hair,blonde and dyed.
I want to leave,
Don’t want to feel.
The space between the puzzles of my heart
shakes and refills.
Finally home, yet I don’t know where I belong.
Running faster, I got blisters.
Staying without class update is danger,
Login to my messenger, where discomfort lingers.
Class group chatters in loop,
Photos float on my screen.
Beauty smiles, happiness so keen.
Big restaurant ,their today never acted mean.
Pizza slices all together,
Coke cups are laughing,
Making memories, weaving new college stories.
I am hooked in a painful puzzle game.
Happiness makes excuses so lame.
Why does my heart feel something I can’t name?
In this mismatched world, I am the extra puzzle piece.
Everything attached ,that’s why overlooked and missed.
No one stands when I watch rain,
No worries when my heart pours pain.
Paper remains, words get drenched
by the flood of my lens.
Book of memories ,no entry.
Only pain made poetry.
Forgotten plates sit still in my pantry.
Not lonely, just greedy.
How they get to keep the filling memory jar?
New woven stories, but mine is empty so far.
Extra piece of puzzle,
No space to fit in.
My jar lies untouched, drenched in pain.
Lost, remaining, nothing gained.
Night heavy, only baby whispers
to the universal puzzle maker.
