"The puzzle That is ME"
I’m a puzzle, hard to understand, A mix of chaos that’s unplanned. I say I’m quiet, but don’t be fooled, In crowds, I laugh, I’ve broken the rules. I love to rest, my lazy way, But my thoughts never seem to stay. I hold a camera, frozen in time, Capturing moments, a world sublime. I care too much, my heart too kind, Feelings bottled up, hard to unwind. I overthink till my thoughts collide, Wishing for peace, but nowhere to hide. I keep it in, I try to be strong, But when I break, it all comes wrong. I spill my heart, regret soon follows, Words pour out in endless swallows. I try to keep secrets, try to stay tight, But when I speak, they take flight. I’m open, I’m raw, a heart that’s true, Sweet yet messy, but still, I’m you. I’m sunshine, storms, and everything new, A puzzle of pieces, lost and true. I’m not perfect, and that’s okay, I’m the puzzle that’s me, come what may
