Have they won?

Have they won?
Those loathsome
louts - those
who abused me
of yore and near? 

Fragile 
I remain,
my recovery ...
uncertain
uneven
unknown. 

Have they won,
just when
I thought
outlasted them all
had I ... 

So, then ...
what has
it all been for?
Anything?
Has anything
I've done or
been through
been worth while?
Been worth anything?
