Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.
--Jeremiah 15:16

Some Assembly Required


I'm not a puzzle you can solve
or a problem you can resolve
just because I come in pieces doesn't mean I'm broken
each piece of me is still a whole
I'm just me and there is some assembly required


Dedicated to all my peeps that fall within the spectrum . . . you know who you are ; )

    Oooh, I really love this! We each have many pieces but it doesn't mean we are broken. Wonderful, I really enjoyed your Magpie. :-)

    Fantastic realizations that there are many pieces to the whole of each and every one of us.

    Thank you all for your comments which I truly treasure! I was trying pretty hard to conjure up a poem for this prompt but was getting no where. so I went to bed and slept on it and when I awoke it was right there on the tip of my tongue!

    Short, to the point and accurate! It does seem like so many want to fix us -- or -- are they trying to create us in their image?
