Illusory Luck
Silently you keep tempting me to give in
But your tale of easy life I don't believe,
Though I lack interest in your help for me
I 'm humbled deeply by your almighty reach.
I know you exist somewhere out there
While so many are chasing you everywhere.
Why you keep my company I'll never know
For I don't intend to reside in your shadow.
You set the rules like you own my world,
Don't think I play hard to win your favor.
If you want to blame my game when I lose
Don't take all the credit every time I win.
You choose to strike in your random ways
For there is no logic to which way you sway.
Sometimes you find rich and make it richer
Yet, you continue to ignore places that hurt.
Known to change your mind without reason
Your grandiose tease I find quite illusory.
I will win my own way, and wait my turn
For I'm unwilling to wager on you my luck.
