[Old and Unreadable] Max's Thought-Provoking Poetry

Puzzle Pieces

Our mind is like a puzzle, one that won't make sense
Its cogs and screws are layered disturbingly dense
Behind the pieces of your clockwork puzzle
Sits the simplistic light bulb taunting your muzzle
It glows and attracts fireflies
The same ones that makes your insanity glide

Each puzzle piece is a complex feeling
That fits oh so heartbreakingly clearly
With another person's piece in your head
If only you could put together the words said
If only you could understand the source of your dread
The answer to the puzzle you so eagerly want to shed

Why are your emotions so complicated, you say
Why are there so many pieces, you serenade
Why did they get mixed up, you cry, every day
Someone must have a key inside your head
To mess up the pieces while you lay in bed
But who could do that, you have said

There is only one person with a key inside
And that is you, you are the one who tried
The one you grabbed all the pieces you fixated
The one who made your feelings so complicated
The one who forced you into obsession
The one who rigged your mental election

We spend so much time staring, devoid of glee
At the pieces, at every possibility
When what we really need is to step back and stand still
And look at the bigger picture, if you will
For if we stare at our tangled emotions aboard
They might just put eachother together once more
