pieces

pieces of a man can often be looked at as pieces of a puzzle; everyone starts off with their own complete set. we are quickly put to the task of finding out how to arrange our given pieces properly in a way that makes sense, but somewhere along the way life happens and we lose some pieces whether due to everyday turbulence or other regular occurrences. some boxes collide with others' and for a season we swap our pieces in exchange for promises, companionship, love or other things that we can't seem to give to ourselves. but when it's time to part and go our separate ways we end up leaving some of our most prized pieces behind; pieces that can't necessarily be replaced because we are special limited edition puzzles, equipped with one-of-a-kind pieces and formations that can't be recreated. sure we can try all we want to go back and pick up what we lost but its not the same because our pieces have been left with clear marks of abuse, mistrust, and disappointment, and can no longer fulfill the void it was created to satisfy. so what do you do now? you work towards moving on and adapting to playing with the pieces you have left, ultimately forming this new person. and although you seem to carry the same exterior, you've been changed inside; you've experienced somethings, formed new outlook on life, switched up your change of pace, and have produced a new attitude because once again you've been through some stuff. now the question is when will you know when it's the right time to do it all over again and hope that this time around you achieve success in finding what you were looking for originally. love.
