Puzzle Pieces

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I see myself splintered on the floor
   Chunks and pieces
bigger than my head and invisible-
And it's beautiful to me
Now.
The pieces of stained glass
    I was told were sharp and dangerous
Call me like a match to a pyromanic.
I look at the puzzle
   I've been trying to put back together
And I see how
      Nothing looks right
With these so called
Ugly pieces-
     this odd shaped one...pride I think they call it
          and this one
       the one that doesn't fit next to the Catholic one
      independence from....everybody....fits right in the  
        middle
            and the one I'm still not ready to put in place
        my whole other half
                 I'm just not ready
Or it could just be
     one of those trick puzzles
Where they give you too many pieces.
