Fragments
By JFarrell
I am a whole
Made up of the fragments
That comprise my life
Comprise my experience
All the little broken pieces
Broken by life
Broken by pain
Broken by people
One whole, broken into a thousand pieces
Each piece, each fragment
Similarly broken into a thousand shards
All little stabs of pain
Like a jigsaw puzzle
I have spent my life
Reassembling the pieces
Fitting all the components together
Thousands of fragments
Painstakingly rearranged
Unerringly placed
To, once again, make me whole.
