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 stage of victim status.
I look back with sadness
rather than hate.
I look forward to hope
rather than despair.
I may never forget, but I need not
constantly remember.
I was a victim.
I am a survivor.
