Not a Victim
December 5, 2018
I am not a victim of my circumstance,
I am accountable for my own.
Occasionally struggling to make a stance,
But it's up to me and my spoken tone.
It’s easy to sit down and stick on a label,
Then walk around as just another casualty.
You are an individual cable,
Who can stand up for yourself naturally.
Wonder away from the burning pain,
Head towards the extensive self-love,
Come back to focusing on you and your brain.
Pay attention to the marvelous things above,
No more playing the role of a victim,
Use that energy on your own bright rhythm.
