I am a puzzle.

I am a puzzle

that I cannot piece together.

 

People tell me I'm a problem solver.

I'm an advice giver. I'm an answer finder,

But I can't find the answer, or even the right questions to ask,

When it comes to figuring out my own mind.

I fix things - on a daily basis - but I can't seem to fix myself.

Perhaps someday I will find a missing piece,

Maybe I was incomplete all along,

Or some pieces got twisted, forced together the wrong way round,

And I just need to untwist them,

And the puzzle will be solved.

Maybe one day I'll look exactly like the picture on the box.

Until then I will be what I have always been:

Puzzled.
