You wear luck like a borrowed halo

Still warm from someone else’s head

You call it fate when doors fall open

I call it rot you never fed

You keep a clover pressed in your wallet

Like it owes you breath and blood

But I watched you salt the garden

Then blame the dirt when nothing grows

You speak in signs and silver linings

Like storms exist to make you shine

I was learning how to bleed in silence

While you mistook escape for time

You don’t stumble into miracles

You trip over people and call it grace

Take your luck and shove it

I don’t kneel to borrowed signs

I don’t trust four fragile leaves

That die the second they’re confined

Take your luck and choke on it

I planted roots where you rolled dice

I didn’t win by accident

I lived through winter

You survived the night

You treat the universe like a slot machine

Pull the lever

Blame the spin

You call it destiny when it pays out

And bad timing when it doesn’t win

I stitched myself from broken branches

Learned to breathe through bark and bone

You burned every bridge for warmth

Then wondered why you froze alone

You confuse forgiveness with immunity

Confuse silence with a vow

I was sharpening my instincts

While you kept asking fate for now

You don’t manifest peace

You just outrun the smoke

Take your luck and shove it

I don’t pray to random chance

I don’t wear a wilted clover

Like it gives my life a stance

Take your luck and burn it

I outgrew your paper faith

I didn’t fall into my power

I crawled there

Dragged by every ache

I was not your miracle

I was not your sign

I was the crack in the mirror

Every time you looked inside

Luck didn’t save you

Timing didn’t care

You just kept betting on mercy

Like the earth wouldn’t remember

You want grace without weather

You want harvest without dirt

You want the crown without the pressure

You want the bloom without the hurt

I learned the language of endurance

While you learned how to disappear

Now you call it misfortune

That I’m no longer here

Take your luck and shove it

I don’t envy how you fall

You mistake coincidence for worth

I see through it all

Take your luck and lose it

I don’t chase what can’t be held

I planted forests in my chest

While you kept praying to yourself

I don’t need a four leaf anything

To know I’ll survive

I became the season

You kept waiting on

To arrive
