Won't or Can't?
I am the puzzle piece that won't fit
The edges are aligned
The picture matches
And yet it won't go in
Why?
Is it stubbornness
Or pride?
A need of individuality?
Assimilation fears?
If it fits in
Won't it be lost in this crowd of others?
Then why does it look
As if it should fit?
Camouflage?
Is staying out worse than fitting in?
If one squints one's eyes
The puzzle looks complete
Sorta
I will never know
What the fished picture will be
I am the puzzle piece
That can't fit
