It is a Puzzle
Life is a puzzle;
you are trying to find all the pieces to it.
It seems like there is always just one missing,
or one does not fit.
You go on a journey
and go through trials and tribulations
searching for something
you feel you will never find.
You go on discovering things;
things that push you forward
and things that hold you back.
Sometimes you smile,
sometimes you want to give up.
But something keeps you going
because you crave the need for peace.
You look outside the box of the puzzle
and see that the piece you were looking for
was right next to you
and you let it slip away.
YOu find this piece of the puzzle
is soaked in water
from the glass you spilled
and it can never be replaced.
Unless,
You buy the puzzle again
and start over.
Another journey;
but it's possible.
Take it slow this time
and handle the pieces of your life
with care.
Everyone deserves another chance;
including you.
Proceed with caution though,
because third chances are rare.
