⪻Poem #27⪼

I thought life to me was evil
I played victim to this thought
But in time it was revealed
It was a lie I stupidly bought.

I regret wasting my life
To a lie I play with my whole life
I regret playing the victim
When in truth, I am not.

Never was I the victim
Nor was I the villain
I am the power I had within
A light that can never be dimmed.

As I let the empathy compass me
The love spreading to my thoughts and to my body,
I've seen things I never happened to see,
I've come out as a hero to my own story.
