Puzzle Piece
⋆ ˚｡ ︶⭑ ꒷꒦︶ ⋆ ⁺₊
It's hard to fill up the space they require.
They created a standard that is so inhuman.
I'll keep myself and put my body on fire.
I'm weak; I want to be treated as a man.
Why do they love to change someone?
If it's not a barcode to get the price?
Like a rollercoaster ride, I thought it would be fun.
I can fly, but the world isn't nice.
I want to be a rose in a world full of poison ivy.
You might get hurt, but I can't kill you with words.
Reflection of someone's shadow will not end shiny.
Don't be a prisoner of the singing birds.
Picture-perfect frame from a third-rated museum,
A part of it will be chaos for your ruthless path.
Puzzle piece? No more; step up and see him,
Stop fitting in towards the aftermath.
Would you like to be a showman's doll?
Changing yourself to be someone you are not?
Just like how puzzle pieces will fall—
It's too sick not to accept your own plot.
