Incomplete (The Puzzle Song)

So, you've gone and called someone stupid

And, in response, they've damaged your eye

But there is where the conflict must end

Lest you both end up blind

Sometimes the problems at play

Are not all plain to see

So we lash out at our loved ones

Disregarding our bond sanctity

There are several sides

to us that may seem abstract at first

Until we discover where everything fits, and

People can be like a half-missing puzzle set;

As we find the pieces

Things make more and more sense!

I had this problem where I'd

often hide my less-than-awesome feelings

So when I would feel like sobbing, I'd just smile and crack jokes!

I thought that that was coping, only joking

Never showing sadness

Hoping it would go away!

Did that work?

Nope!

I felt bad!

Aw, Pat...

It's okay

How's that?

Everybody gets sad

Even dads that have people to care for

And therefore

You don't have to hide your pain

Life without rainy days

Is incomplete

On the subject of storm clouds...

'Cause, you know. You need. Storm clouds to make. Rain

I'm just gonna get into it

You once knew me as real gloomy

This weird spooky, broody dude

'Cause I knew you'd listen to me

As too scary to ignore

I thought that I could take it

All the hate could just be shaken

But when you lo— care for someone

Not much hurts more than their scorn

I also felt bad

Oh come now...

In a different way...

Different how?

By bad I mean, well, mean

But I did what I thought I had to

Which is bad too!

I don't have to act all tough...

Sometimes love is enough...

Or what we need!

That was a quaint little review
