Lady Misfortune

I love the blows

That misfortune throws at me

They're like cold

Splashes of water

To the face

Reminding me

That I am alive

They aim for my heart

My mind and my sanity

Its all so electrifying

And the way I embrace it

Approaches the label

"Death-defying" I stopped the crying

Ages ago when I realized misfortune

Tests the soul and began to

Observe it, watch what it

Does to ones life

It seemed like trials

But could I really be right?

All the while I watched

Lady misfortunes style

It could be compared to a child

Playing with mere toys

And those crying out for help

Are only background noise

And when we get agitated

Everything becomes that

Much more interesting for the infant

And it plays some more

It's not that difficult to see through

The lenses that I am looking through

Take a step back and take a look at the bigger view

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest

To see but sometimes 

Misfortune gets too coincident for me

I've learned to take a step back

Be silent and watch

That's the only way

To flirt with lady misfortune
