Reflections: White Scorpion

I know I am lucky

with all that has happened in my lie;

it has not been either

too bad or too good but that

does not mean it has been normal;

I know I am lucky

for being able to get by, but
life should be more than
that before one has to die;



I know I am lucky
with all that has come my way,
none of which has been asked for,
which is what I am looking for today.
