Excellence Award in the 'The Inside Story 2020' competition

What I have
Hidden, invisible, the obvious concealed
So little understand the broken piece I hold
Compared always to the opposite
The truth, never been told
No escape from the dreaded
The thought, I daresay, swells
If they offend without intention
But it’s intended
And it dwells
Questions ride the high tide
Rare but common, almost everywhere, almost nowhere
What I have
Completes the puzzle
My puzzle
Part of me
