Once a Victim

VICTIM! Loud screams! Ears tingling! At the thought of once being a VICTIM!!! If I were asked to explain I’d say, I used to be a victim, of purposelessness, Wallowing in distress Once upon a time, I never knew my strength I couldn’t figure out Who I truly was My purpose was unbeknownst to me Twas dark, hard and twisted I was all shallow, never with even a slight understanding I was so dependent, never owned a life I did what they did, I thought what they thought Little did I know, That I was born to life To get it done alone All along I thought, life was to be lived, relying on the next person I had it rough, life so knocked me down but soon I was hit with the bitter but very true irony of life That no matter the hurdles, U must learn to hustle And fight on till you win Since then I’ve learned my lessons, Even tho the road might seem tough, I’ll never give up But just keep keeping it up I’ll never again be a VICTIM
