Puzzle

by nick-durbin

Somehow I scrounge through these jumbled words in my notebooks and I piece together this puzzle. When connected it forms some idea of who I am - my brain... my heart... it personifies my existence, so to speak. Although, like all puzzles even when put together as a whole to form a landscape or object, the cracks from the pieces are still present... Now, from afar people wouldn't notice these cracks - these blemishes in the photo, but like a collage when up close, it becomes more evident - the imperfections become more radiant or profound... The glue so to speak for this picture of words - this illustration of life would be - it is those cracks, those blemishes that make a puzzle - a puzzle... and a person - a person. Each individual, as everyone knows, has different life experiences, different scars to form different pieces to make up their own unique puzzle. One piece may be interpreted through skills or hobbies and another with goals. Each and every second of a persons' life could ultimately be a piece of a puzzle.
