A poem about my life

My life feels like a puzzle

That I simply can't complete

Just when I thought it's figured out

One piece is obsolete.

.

Born into this world

No clue I had

What life would be

Without a dad.

.

Trying to find self-confidence

Has always been a piece

That has never

Been in reach.

.

Like any child I had some dreams

Of what I'd like to do

Little did I know

Most never would come true

.

Most pieces seem missing

Or just out of my reach

Just like my adult pursuit

That someday I would teach.

.

I guess there are always pieces

That I will never find

Maybe I'm not supposed to

In this life of mine.

.

However, this life is not over

It is not yet complete

Still hoping to find that missing piece

Before I'm obsolete.

Thank you for reading this. I know in my heart I'm not alone in these feelings. Even though this puzzle called life is the hardest one we'll ever do, it'll always be worth searching for that elusive missing piece.
