I was a puzzle,
Pieces scattered across the floor,
Each one broken
By the world's unforgiving hands.
But I kept searching,
Through the rubble,
Through the jagged edges
Of who I thought I should be,
Until, one day,
I realized
I was whole.
The pieces fit,
The body and mind finally aligned,
And I understoodâ
The journey wasn't to find myself,
But to become myself.
