Puzzle Piece


It's not a tragedy
When someone isn't
Able to walk or talk.
While most people base their
Lives on the external-
I'm realizing that we all fit
Like a puzzle.
If everyone would emotionally hear
We would realize that we
Are one another's peer.
So you see, all that pity
Is not necessary
Because I too am a puzzle piece.
