Like the lingering breath of coffee
sweet and bitter
she walks down the hall,
books clutched close to her heart,
holding on to all she really knows.
Because everything else is too much.
A 10,000 piece puzzle
she can't put back together.
10,000 pieces weigh heavy
in her pockets.
Everyone else just figured it out,
to them it's easy.
But it seems easy,
easier said than done.
Because to her
it feels like her piece to the puzzle
will never fit.
She'll never fit,
a broken piece she can't fix,
a question she can't answer,
a puzzle she can't solve.
