I stood rooted, overwhelmed by challenges
My steps frozen under their pushing weight
I called upon my lady luck to give me respite
Solve the challenges while I escape.
She jeered and found her way to a place
Where a man toiled hard and worked his way
Through the harsh twists and turns of life.
She wiped creases off his brow and said I am here to stay.
There being no one to help, I bravely moved on,
Clearing the cobwebs in my mind, I walked on unseen paths,
My pricking present turning to a rosy future with each brave step
Destiny smiled kindly and luck worked only when I made a headstart.
