"A witty quote proves nothing"
-Voltaire


1 out of 4
gets to sit back and watch
as the others are happy
they smile and they laugh

1 out of 4
a cruel ratio to him
not them
still stuck six feet under
since the time he was born

1 out of 4
is thrust past innocence
forced to love hating
everything
really their is no love
at all

1 out of 4
is cursed to live a lie
lying to himself that he's living
a dream
a nightmare really

1 out of 4
is stuck
bound by chains that wont bend
to anything but
a cold and lonely thud

1 out of 4
is held back by
nothing but himself
depressed without the sympathy that
all others would receive

1 out of 4
Is without hope of any future
stuck seeing falling stars
in front of the painful truth

1 out of 4
sees no other path
but the stairs leading downwards
red ahead only
flames jumping burning bright

Because 1 out of 4
is forever the unlucky one
