Fitting Together

Two pieces of a puzzle

So alike

We matched. Same design, same edges

Together

We had to be

But they don't let us

We can't be together

Being the same isn't right

We don't fit

We aren't normal

Society says so

We’re from two different pictures

Yet we still fit

To form a picture

That is true and unique

Though we aren't really puzzles

Two people

So alive

We matched

As the same

Same gender, same species

Though they don't let us

we can be together

Being the same isn't our choice, but it's our right

We aren't perfect, and it isn't wrong

We shouldn't be forced to be with others

Society says so

We weren't made for each other

From two different perspectives

But we still fit

Even if we aren't puzzles

Just because they fit doesn't make them right

Just because we're alive doesn't make us right

Because we are us, they say we aren't right

Society tells us we aren't of the same puzzle

We might still be wrong in their eyes

But we can still fight for our rights

This poem is an idea based off of my friend and her girlfriend. They tend to face a lot of discrimination for who they are, and she once told me they were like two puzzle pieces of two separate puzzles in societies eyes.
