necessitating triviality

It's incredibly easy
to lose sight of a part of yourself
Only drug addicts and psychotics
lose sight of themselves entirely,
but to lose a part
one piece, lost in transition
I find to happen as easily
as leaving something behind
like a pillowcase

I've been working feverishly
toiling over this project that will
undoubtedly take longer than I expect
and I left sitting on the shelf
one of the better pieces of myself.
It sat their in the corner
I even looked at it once or twice, but decided
"Not now, I don't have time for you currently"

What a grave mistake indeed.

If I am to be everything I am capable of being
than no part can be left behind, not a single slice
of my soul can be forgotten or ignored
The most important asset I possess
is the complete complexity of my psyche.
The puzzle would be incomplete
without the one piece that completes it.

So here I sit now, reattaining my passions
reinvigorating the part of me I had forgotten
taking down off the shelf, and dusting off
the one piece of my soul that might complete
the rest of my life.
