"Numquam finitur, donec vita finiatur."
- K. D'Angelo Alexander


Unfortunate,

Down on luck


Should’ve use it wisely,

When I was up


Pet the black cat

That crossed my path

Crossed under the ladder,

Opened the umbrella indoors,

All of that


Didn’t matter to me,

Thirteen’s my favorite number,

Superstition was my serendipity


But I poked the bear in its slumber,

And awoke a monstrosity


Of bad luck,

Shrouded in a veil of false security


Good things will happen,

Balanced with horrors,

Occasionally


Guess I’ve run out of luck,

Taking things for granted just

Seemed secure to me


The author's comments:

A warning for those who take what may seem like “luck” for granted.

Everything in life comes at a price, and unfortunately some of us find that out in ways not as easy as others. Just because everything appears to be going your way, does not mean you’re immortal, or blessed by chance. Laugh in the face of Fate, and she will just laugh back.
