Evil acts have victimized me,
leaving me barren and lost.
Time has brought me
to sound mind and health.
Now, it is my turn to make a choice.
I choose to find ways
not to victimize others.
I engage strategies to better
my conduct and quality.
I will do my best to improve me,
limit the evil I do to myself,
limit the evil I do to others,
and challenge others
to better themselves.
In return, there is no guarantee that
more evil will not victimize me.
I know that.
I accept that.
