Victimhood is powerless and weak. It’s treacherous and bleak. It’s not forgiving and letting go. It’s holding onto anger and bitterness. It may feel good for the moment, but it vanishes instantly with feelings of lack and incompleteness. Victimhood is a mindset and an emotion, and it can change with the first step and words I can.

I Forgive You Because (Poem)
I forgive you because,
Holding on to hurts of the past
Is being shackled to the ground
With no escape
But the sound of your voice belittling,
With your sarcastic remarks.
I forgive you because,
If I don’t,
I will sleep walk my whole life,
Never getting anywhere
But listening to your voice
Condescending and obstructive.
I forgive you because,
The one who holds on,
Never embraces the world
For all its beauty but imperfections
To discover ourselves anew.
I forgive you because,
It’s the only way to correlate,
And accept the world
Despite its imperfections
And treachery.
I forgive you because,
It’s for my own good,
And I forgive you,
To move on,
From the sabotaging pain,
Of holding on.
