Dumb Luck – 30th August 2026

What a fabulous contradiction I was
At times, disbelieving in wonder and awe
At others, feeling so far down because
I had no idea what I was living for

Gloomy skies could comfort or divide
Why did the good times fade away?
Without understanding what I was inside
Unable to avoid being a perfect cliche

So long ago, I can look back and laugh
Dumb luck has brought me to today
Even when I wasn’t on the right path
I stopped myself from being led astray


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

When You Feel Lazy

What’s fuelling your reluctance?
Spite? Fatigue? Or something more crazy?
Sometimes, we gotta do what’s gotta be done
Even when you’re feeling lazy

Let me know your thoughts
