Pieces - By Laura Turpin

Behold this world I scream
for it sums up my life
under one simplistic theme

Pieces of my shattered dreams
lofty dreams of a dreamers mind
That I would reach some pathways
that never did unwind

Pieces of my life's puzzling schemes
the pieces lie before me
that I could never comprehend
waiting to bound free

Pieces of my broken relations
the few I dared to know
showed I still needed more caution
by leaving me stranded with nowhere to go

Today I reverse my life, my pain and my shame
my lifetime of blending into the rest of society
compromising actions somehow excused
by my lack of faith
My bondage ends now, today I am set free
