I have been victimised.

I was in a fight that was not a fair fight.

I did not ask for the fight, I lost.

There is no shame in losing such fights, only in winning.

I have reached the stage of survivor and am no longer a slave of victim status.

I look back with sadness rather than hate.

I look forward with hope rather than despair.

I may never forget, but I need not constantly remember.

I was a victim;

I am a survivor!
