What have you been very lucky at?

I find luck
to be a loaded word
to mean
rarity
amongst it all

I am LUCKY (+)
for the people
I have come across,
for the opportunities
I have gained,
at the right moment,
healing.

I am LUCKY (-),
unconventional use,
for yet others
who were a poor fit,
by unlikely statistical circumstance
and encountering issues
most people don’t encounter
based on rare instance.

And so
I see it less as luck
but more as fate,
that statistics are still statistics
that unlikely
still means possibility,

but that
regardless of the heights
or the lows
I can sit through it all, somehow.
