How do I fit in a place where I’m alone?
Sometimes it feels like I forever won’t
Who do I have and where will I go?
But if I find out, how will I know?
Perhaps it’s a puzzle, with pieces erased
and if that is so, do I look to replace?
The picture unclear and the truth be untold
Where do I look when I’m stuck in the old?
The old brings me comfort, but the old is all gone
But the old makes me happy, perhaps I was wrong?
For new I must find to fit in its place,
rearrange this puzzle, however long it takes
For my search must begin but I fear I’ve gone blind
I know I must go forward and leave it all behind
Refocus my eyes and see the pieces form together
It is time I must reimagine, my new forever
