Jigsaw

The pieces were there
All the while
It took time of course
But she had pieced together
Some of them

She felt elated
For a short while
But the more she
Fit them together
The more she had doubts

Colours and shapes
Don’t seem to
Match anymore
She felt confused
And lost

The pieces did not
Match anymore
All that time spent
She had to undo
Had to unlearn
Her previous steps

Start all over
Keep moving forward
In the hope that
The pieces will
All fall together
In place
Eventually
