Victim Syndrome

My father did this when i was a child
My mother did this when i was a child
My siblings got this while we were kids
My ex boyfriend did this to me while we were dating

The excuses are many and varied and unfortunately, the thing in vogue right now
It is ok to blame the rest of the world for the way we are
Or the way we do things and fail miserably

Nowadays, it is fashionable to play the victim
Too many people wear that badge with pride, excusing their behaviour

At 15, you are a victim. At 25, you are bodering on irresponsible.
The yoruba people have a saying:
It falls upon you to give birth to yourself again.
we have become a world that seeks excuses for everything,
Nobody wanting to take full responsibility for their actions.

I have met people who have been real victims in their lives
But refuse to wear the victim badge. The have gone about their lives
with dignity, taking full responsibility for the things they do and say and
my hat goes off to them.
On the other hand, there are those that have gone through the same thing
That most of us have been through but look for a way to make it more than it is.
They excuse their bad behaviours and rotten attitude with Victimitis.

It is time people start growing up, taking full responsibility for their own actions
and stop leaning on excuses to continue to perpetrate disgusting habits.

What is wrong is wrong and as an adult, it is time to pull yourself together.
