I'm a Puzzle Man

I was a poor boy from New Orleans.
Living in fear.
No one taught me how to steer.
My A.D.H.D made be focus on the fear.
The O.C.D made me re-live all the worst years.
Always told myself I was better ,
I  was a knight.
Still being pierced, by all the spears.
Thrown though me.
Always being  judged for missing pieces.
Im puzzle -man .
World pulling me apart.
Kings and Queens taken tiny bits
without my consent. 
 Castles where I  wanna be ,
Reconstruct me.
Never understanding the skin 
of my border 
I wanta see the picture of
 me, that was order
When  Its completed. 
I'm a puzzle- man.

 All of me,
I'm right here
Where , I wanna be
My depression makes me weak.
I reek of suicidal thoughts,
  prozac doesn't help me.
When I was younger, I wanted death.
Now that I'm  older,  Im scared to death.
The perception in limbo
screaming mix match pieces 
 where am I ,
meant to fit in?
 I'm a puzzle man.

 Where is all of me?
I'm right where,
 I should be .
I wanna see,
What you  see!
Do see all the burdens' I bring?
This defeated pawn 
The one that screws up everything .
I'm  Mixed 
Shaken, 
 on a surface .
My earth
 expose to all my secrets.
Nothing is left to me.

Other than my last missing piece!
my heart skipped a beat.
When you were walking towards me.
I'm a puzzle man.
Come rearrange me
So we both 
Could  fit in this puzzle world , that we don't belong in 
Are you my last missing piece?
To be complete.
