Victim Or Victor

"I TRY MY BEST" I could be bitter or better but I chose to try to be my best- I could be a kicker or a fighter, for one time I was depressed. I could stand up tall or fall to my knees with regret and shame- I could enthrall in an inner brawl and TRY to forget my name. I could stay inside my comfort zone where I feel more at ease- I could trade my ability to suffer alone in the cold and freeze. I could be a defenseless loss cause with no one to count on- I could be relentless in exhaustion who can’t confront my demon. I could be a prey to my addiction or get healthy and stay better- I could stay afraid of MY affliction or become a wealthy hope spreader. I could be a fool or a scapegoat with nowhere else to run and hide- I could go back to school and explode with anxiety supplied. There are many things that can make or break my confidence- There are plenty of things that can take away my competence, but I have grown and shown my absolute BEST with much difficulty- I have known and am blown away as I reflect on such v i c t o r y. couplet with internal rhyme Victim Or Victor Contest Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron Date Written: September 8, 2016
