I have been victimized.
I was in a fight that was
not a fair fight.
I did not ask for the fight.
I lost
There is no shame in losing
such fights.
I have reached the stage of
survivor and am no longer a
slave of victim status.
I look back with sadness
rather than hate
I look forward with hope
rather than despair.
I may never forget,but I need
not constantly remember.
I was a victim.
