Masterpiece

10/9/2017

every life is a masterpiece
we spend our entire journey
mastering pieces of our own unique existence
attempting to figure out our puzzle's path 
connecting distant sections of ourselves
one by one
trying to make our lives look like
the perfect picture on the box we came in
we lose patience  to see that vision
the complete image we know is possible 
instead of fully comprehending each piece as it is laid
how one connects with the whole
some portions are easier to link than others
and there's always that one piece
that you think is missing
but it's there, you just have to look harder to find it
you are complete
you are whole
you are enough
