Silenced No More

puzzle pieces

our lives are one big puzzle

we don't know how many pieces we've got

there are people that fit in quite nicely

and people who try but do not

we're constantly adding more pieces

all the memories of things we've been through

we add laughter and tears and adventure

and the lessons we've learnt to be true

everyone has their own puzzle

there will be ones where you do not fit

don't you ever dare make your piece smaller

just so you can live there for a bit

if you keep cutting off all of your edges

one day you won't recognize what you see

and you'll forget the person you once were

before the world told you who you should be

make the most of each piece in your puzzle

it'll be a grand masterpiece when it's done

so you won't have to look back when it's over

and realize you've left out the sun
