Thirteen for Me

I am thirteen

But not for the reason it may seem

I am not thirteen for the shock

I am that number because it brought me luck

On the Fridays that have fallen between twelve and fourteen

I have received happy news, a break so it seems

I celebrate on those rare days

They’re not bad luck, no matter what anyone says

So, here I am, smiling at the one and the three

Put together, they’re misunderstood, just like me!
