I’m a Victim of Circumstance

I am a victim of circumstance
But being a victim of circumstance made me who I am
When faced with a challenge
I’ll do enough to get by
Get mad if I don’t win
Because I know I didn’t really try
I was upset to be here
And even though I’m longing for freedom
I’m blessed to be alive
Because of this I don’t bite, stress, or cry
Even when I get bad calls about loved ones that died.
