Was I a Bet

Why

By Teresa leePublished 5 years ago 1 min read
original art by me

Was I a Bet

Was I a bet, Did universe offer me as a challenge.

Give me to parents who had no capacity.

Throw in tactless family to keep it interesting.

Was I the universes test

Raise me up trusting none

Did the universe form the life to torture and numb me

Did the universe just wait, knowing what was to come.

Was it the next challenge.

Was the universe proud

Or

Double the anty

Come on now, and offer me again at the hint of a smile

Did I almost break and the universe called the hand

Did universe send my champion to rescue

Did the bet get won

I was only fractured and shattered

Through it all the core was still honest,

Soul had flicker of life

Did I earn reprieve

Am I safe, did I over come

Will I ever

love without limits

trust with whole heart

will the good ever feel complete

Was I a bet ?
