The Bully

A Story by Onlyme

How bad habits come about. And repeat.

The Bully

He is only 12 years of age,

just recently turned.

His mother a kind and caring soul.

His father is a brute of a man.

Selfish and mean. And hard as hell.

He beats his mother on a regular basis

And he hears her trying to stiffly her

screams. Late at night. When he turns

on her after bittersweet so-called lovemaking.

To which he cannot perform. So he takes it out

on his mother. And a near miss for him at times.

He escapes the next day. Before!, he starts on him.

So to help him cope. And a bad thing. He did learn

from his father. He became a bully. Like his dad.

He saw this kid younger than himself getting picked on

by another young lad in the local park. So he steps in

and helped him. And in return the kid. Gave him his

pocket money as a reward. He was shocked and taken

aback. But in a way felt good. Not for the kind

act of helping him. But for the money, he got in return.

So from that day forth. Any young kid he sees in the

park. He bullies them for their pocket money. And forthwith,

he gets. Without a fight.

Around in circles, the victims and badness

take hold. To break the cycle. They have to be told.

And helped. But answers are easy. It is the doing that

is hard. To help sort out a bully. That truly is broken

at heart.

Another amazingly insightful write with depth of heart and wisdom.
It is indeed hard to sort out the complictions of life. As rotten as life can be it has to come down to decisions.
Reaching out to the broken of heart especially at an early age is very important. They need healing and help to make better choices than what they have seen.
Thoughtful and so very well written. Great work.
