Number “13”

Is it ignorance or fear?
So many times we often hear,
About the number thirteen,
Now what does it verily mean?

Is it real or just a myth?
Or a horror that we live with.
So many stories we find,
That brings panic into our mind.

Judge without being smitten,
There are stories also written.
How much lucky some have been,
Standing tall, winners with a grin.

So wake up from the slumber,
It is just another number.
Though unlucky for those few,
Blessings it may shower on you.
