[victim]

tonight my victimizing myself ends. 

i will not be the target 

of my own self-pity. 

i will not fall silent to the world's screaming pressures.

unless silence is strength. then i will not speak a word.

i will trust myself.

i will stop picking out my faults 

and stop analyzing them, too.

i will love myself.

because i am loved.

by the one who is Love.
