THE
WORD
She hurts.
He hurts.
You hurt.
I hurt.
They hurt.
We hurt.
It is a story told without resolution—a profile in defeat—a chair of comfort, set to the side.
It is a pain minus healing.
It is the word that should never be written or uttered again:
VICTIM
Being identified by your tragedy, characterized by your weakness or remembered for your sadness.
It is nearly drowning yet remaining in the water.
It is being battered and beaten and commanded to continue to wear your bandages.
It is the insincere belief that pity can ever be love, or sympathy, true mercy.
Victim
Victimized
Victimization
Don’t make one.
Don’t be one.
