Always one step forward two steps back
forever missing pieces of my heart
wish it didn’t hurt
distractions help a little
fighting 
crying 
living 
dying
nothing seems right
a place of my own 
when will it feel like home 
missing pieces everywhere
 
once again life is unfair
how many times does one soul 
need to live the lessons it already knows
wandering
looking
searching
hoping
for those missing pieces to return
to fill the void
 
I stumble upon the sweetest church
welcoming me 
I sit and pray 
I pray for peace 
I pray for healing and forgiveness
someday, maybe someday 
I won’t feel so lost and alone.
 just maybe my missing pieces will come home.
