I like the term warrior Rather than survivor Because I don’t feel like That I was ever a victim And survivor makes it Sound like I was weak At one point
I’m sorry if it’s just me that thinks this way It’s just it’s always bothered me when someone called me a survivor It makes me feel like they pity me They shouldn’t pity me They should instead be inspired by what I’ve been through And hopefully be proud that I’m still alive and (mostly) well
