Luck of the Draw
At times when life seems full of ****
and you are growing tired of it,
when joy's been torn from out your soul
and left you feeling far from whole.
It's then that you, and you alone
can find another pathway home,
forget the hand that you've been dealt
and all life's blows below the belt.
Take all the misery and pain
and change it into lifelong gain,
Just like masochists all do,
laugh at those who would hurt you.
For they're not worthy of your kind
don't ever let them bend your mind,
if only bad things pave your way
don't let just 'luck' control your day.
The new pathways, that you’ll then take,
should bring forth laughter from heartache.
For this is how life's battle's won,
through all life's pains…still have some fun!
