Truth in Nature

vent piece

To be a victim is to have no faults The pain inflicted on me has erased my sins I am weathered away by the pity and the guilt of others They see me as fragile, as frail, as someone who cannot hurt another A broken girl with a broken outlook I am someone who needs to be saved A modern day damsel waiting for her Prince Charming Enclosed in the will of others They only want to help, I know, but I do not need their help I do not need their salvation I can speak on my own I can eat, and pray, and stand tall at the podium and be judged Do not absolve me I am not God I do not forgive easily And neither should you.
