Your History Month

[dukealien]

Victim or achiever are not mutually exclusive and an achiever who never got recognition for his achievements would certainly be a victim. You can be both a victim and overcome your victimizers. You can be ugly and beautiful. You can be good and evil.  Many peoples life story will include unsung achievements. Many will endure unspeakable victimization. It’s OK to be honest. To tell the truth.  To speak.

Your poem is too white and black.

This is where the poem falls short.

Well, it's a short poem   .

Seriously, though:  having been a victim, is treasuring your history of victimhood an attractive stance?  I mean, to others who don't mean to exploit it?
