rarity of victory
poem about something rare by zoe frenchman
winning for me is a rare occurrence,
beginning to think there’s some deterrence,
all i strive for is to have grace and success,
despite my tendency to absorb the mess,
my slightest chance at victory
will be when hell freezes over,
and the sheerest glance at history,
proves the dark spell of my closure,
my life is enamored with misfortune,
my proclivity won’t seem to burgeon,
i long for a subtle conquest
rather than a brutal life test,
i try and i try,
i cry and i cry,
i lie and i lie
and i say that all the loss is fine
when all i want is to cross the line
of triumph, then keep running as fast as i can
to where the deep cunning dissolves into sand
and the devastating rarity
of the absence of austerity
and lack of prosperity,
or others’ sincerity
have nearly
enthralled me
into pure obliteration,
my mistaken deprivation
is unfounded, unsound, and unfair,
yet nobody around seems to care,
my abilities are clear and stark, but
the authorities keep them in the dark,
all i wish is for someone to finally notice,
all i wish is to be the eventual focus.
