questions of anger and victims

Where is the line

Between righteous anger and being a victim

How can one be honest

Yet not play the role of victim

Should anger not be acknowledged

Is it other’s discomfort of anger

That should stop expression of disappointment’s anger

Is the anger inappropriate

Here to stumble to feeling guilty

About playing the cancer card

About being angry

About falling unaware

A little

Into playing the role of victim

Is expressing anger

A way of working it out

No matter how uncomfortable for others

Is playing the victim

Not sometimes appropriate

Or is it always to be looked down upon

Scorned as weakness

Deemed unworthy of compassion

Can not a victim call experience valid

If only to speak some truth of a journey

If only that some truth be heard
