Bad Luck Is My Best Friend

Bad Luck Is My Best Friend

Bad luck is my best friend.
It’s in the hallways when I turn the corner
And my body clashes with another
It’s in my mind when my head starts to wander
And my dreams when it interrupts my slumber
It’s in my words when they are spoken
They decide to not come true
It’s in my actions when they are performed
But I somehow still lose.
Bad luck is my soulmate.
We are closely intertwined. 
He’s always there even when I don’t need him.
He commits to the opposite of my mind. 
Bad luck knows me well. 
He makes me bite my tongue until it swells. 
I wonder why he does it.
It’s like he has me under a spell.
Bad luck is my performer
Never fails to show
Just when I thought my day couldn’t get worse,
It manages to somehow. 
Somehow, I say
Asif its random
But I think he has it out for me.
Like a worm and a sparrow.

Wow Mira, such an incredible poem, and I can relate. Bad luck seems to follow us everywhere... even when we aren't looking for it. Besides the theme and the message, I am enjoying your extreamly well crafted poems, as Tony said, the phrasing is phenomenal. Just wow for this one
