The Victim Archetype
Shame and infamy is yours-
If you are a walking magnet for it,
It’s like predators sus out and devour,
Their next juicy target.
Ask the predator in you-
Do you not assume the position of an energy vampire,
Blood thirsty and famished like a shrew,
Around a helpless outcast of a prosperous empire.
It’s human nature to attack those-
Who walk around branded with the victim label,
With readjustment and repose,
We could just as easily turn the tide and the table.
