Jigsaw
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One piece is obsolete.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.

You are wonderful as you are, Mark â¤ī¸â¤ī¸
Mark, you have beautiful poems that can reach so many people and be lifted up by them. Even though I have never suffered from depression myself I do have a son who is bipolar so I know what it looks like especially on days when he canât bring himself back up.
