What's Missing Isn't Missing

There’s something missing
This isn’t right
Something feels off
I need to fix this

Common thoughts
Annoying, yes.
But it’s missing pieces
That fuel my ambition
To move forward
To grow
And change

Nature hates a void
It strives to fill it
Yet most of the time
I find
What’s missing isn’t missing
It hasn’t escaped
Run away
Or slipped through my fingers
I didn’t miss a boat
Or get left out of the game

Every life is as unique
As the person living it
The rules are simple
But not easy

If I want somethingI have to do it
But don’t “do" too hard
Or it’ll get undone
If I’m afraid of something
It’s probably the doorway out
Of where I admIt’s better to do it
At least to see what’s on the other side
It may feel like stepping off a cliff
Or walking in front of a bus
But as long as I'm not actually
Stepping off a cliff
Or walking in front of a bus
The solution applies

What’s missing
Isn’t a set of rules
Or instructions
A lost identity
Or a magic pill
It’s just lying in the dark
Packed away
Waiting to be rediscovered
Or possibly
Discovered
For the first time
Although usually it's more like a remembering
Than an introduction

If you can’t find it now
Keep looking
It most likely
Isn’t missing
But requires a certain version of you
To recognize it
And that version of you
You don’t recognize as you yet
Simple, right?

Think big
Because the game is rigged
In your favor
