I don't need to be a victim.
I don't want to confess my pain.
I don't need to share my heartaches -
I want my dignity back again!!
I will no longer place blame with others
For the things they "should not have" done -
I'm responsible for the present.
I will leave the past alone.
I can't blame my loving family,
Nor my friends, nor someone else,
For the problems in my life -
I am responsible for myself!!
"Woe is me" is gone forever
From my mouth, where once was home
To a host of negativity,
And where self-pity was free to roam.
I cannot change my history,
Nor undo the wrongs done unto me.
But I can make my future brighter,
By being the best that I can be.
For life's too precious to waste it fretting
Over events of yesterday.
I will live for every moment
And judge my life for just today!!
