Missing Piece Poem by patrick o'shaughnessy

i used to think this was easy
i used to think i was smart
a model of perfection
off to a better start

i used to think i had it all
wrapped up in my mind
an easy goal, easy life
but there was still something i needed to find

like a missing element
waiting among the rest to be found
setting me back to gravity
bringing me back to the ground

i would have never thought
that what i needed all these years
would be something called love
with us now and here
