Big

When things
Happen
To me
In this life

They happen

To me
Big

In the very

Worst
Of ways

No tiny problems

Come my way

Only impossible

Situations
That repeat

No small fires

Smoldering and warm
Only infernos
That burn my life
To ashes

Nothing of

Small consequence
Only high stakes living
That could very well cost a life
 
I wish
Things happened
To me
Small

But they don’t

Things happen

To me
Big

And demand of me

Strength
Bigger still
