The Puzzle

A puzzle

Two pieces make up this puzzle

One white

The other black

Neither of the sides seem to fit

Even after turning them

They don't go together

But you keep twisting them

You get to know the pieces

You learn their strong points,

And their weak ones

You find they don't fit,

Yet seem perfect nonetheless

The white piece is gentle

The corners rounded

Obtuse angles make it flexible

Once almost a circle

After many years

And trials later

She is finely shaped

The black piece is cut rigidly

Every incision is sharp

Every angle is harsh

Produced broken

Displayed as a mishap

Underappreciated for what he really is

Then, another piece is added

A yellow piece flung into the mix

It seems that when you get it

The piece fits next to the white

But not with the black

The black is deemed deformed

And is immediately excluded

Exiled

This piece lost forever             

In the intricate puzzle of life

Goodbye black piece

Forever you shall be alone

While the white and yellow fit snugly together

Goodbye…

Goodbye…

Goodbye…
