Victim Or Victor

Victim or Victor
Written: by Miracle Man

Victim or Victor, to your thinking you’re bound,
perhaps heart has no space for feeling gratitude.
Are thoughts “Woe is Me,” which never astound,
while ever searching for some snarky platitude.

Victims, see half empty, when viewing their glass, 
instead of seeing a glass that’s always half full.
Half empty tells others we’re thinking low class,
but a victor always strives to see his glass brimful.



Sometimes we just need to pray, 
God please GENTLY adjust our attitudes.
Tom

Alexis Y. April 3, 2023 at 7:47 AM Hi Tom, Your title caught my attention. Reading your poem caused me to think about your well-written message. I agree, we need God to adjust our attitudes. One's faith, attitude, and positive perspective are key. Thanks for sharing such a write. Have a great day:-)Alexis
