"You're so lucky"
I laugh and nod for the umpteenth time.
My inner child curled into a ball,
Crying,
Weeping,
Yet another thing luck has stolen from me.
Hours of suffering,
Days that teethered close to the edge,
Weeks of my head banging like a drum.
"You're so lucky"
I smile as my recognition gets robbed again.
I wanted believe it was my work, but...
How could I?
That time,
That pain,
Null in the face of luck.
A winning shot,
The final brush stroke,
A good grade,
A cool skill.
"Me? Nah that's just luck."
The words flow out of my mouth with ease,
Full certainty.
It couldn't have been me, it was luck.
After years of being followed,
Luck being my shadow.
I've become the shadow.
I'm just lucks body.
