Me life so FAR!!

LUCKLESS

I’ll catch a little snowflake,

And bundle it up with a pocket full of joy

Aim it at the sky and punch it with an élan

Borne out of years of practice

Honed to perfection.

“There you go, you bloody bugger”

I’ll say, “I don’t need you to live my life.”

“Luck” - they call you, “I don’t need you.”

So here’s my gift to you,

A sassy snowflake aimed straight for your lucky nose

Blessed may you be, for ‘tis a poor thing

That you offer; an excuse for the poor

A habit of the weak, a tool for the small spirited

I am neither, I crave no such trifles

For I walk alone, with a spine of steel

A step in front every step, day by day

Time after time, I walk slowly

And alone, with all that I can summon

All my hard work, my mind and my will

I forge ahead, through storms and swamps

For I need no luck, while I am strong enough

I need you not, luck – to guide me

I need you not – you wanderer

Be gone, I need you not

My will alone is enough.
