Puzzle
The Piece of the Puzzle without a Home
I am a missing piece of a puzzle of which nobody knows
I belong to a puzzle or three but the fit isn't quite right
A piece alone without a name
A piece that's left out of the game
A piece which is torn, tattered, and ragged
Unrecognizable on the edges it's jagged
Left out in the rain without an invite inside
I am a piece of a puzzle which does not fit the tide

Diabolical Dealing
Charlene Lind found herself at the home of her therapist, Dr. Alexandra Vech, who she had been seeing for a week. What was supposed to be a session ended up becoming a desperate plea of help from Charlene as she was suddenly losing consciousness. She was cognizant enough to know that she had only a minute left until she would be out like a light.

This poem hits a cord with a lot of people, I believe. It definitely does with me. I really loved the part where you say "I belong to a puzzle or three but the fit isn't quite right"... implying there are a couple places you almost fit, but don't. I resonate with this so much! Really, really great poem :)
Love the rhyming, fantastic poem!!!
very touching poem
Excellent, but sad. 🥲
This was so sad but it was very relatable
I think all of us left over pieces should make our own puzzle
Well done.
I know I seldom fit , great words
I felt that. Well done.
Lovely words that are very relatable. I understand not fitting in. Well done, Rick :)
