Bullying

You bullied him

in the bowling alley

demeaning him in public

yet, he said not a word

You bullied him
in the restaurant
displaying your hate filled anger
yet, he said not a word

You bullied him

when he was slow

working his job

yet, he said not a word

You treated him like dirt

but went to him

when you needed money

You bullied him all his life

Now you are gone

yet he still, says not a word.

Bullying can permanently damage someone throughout their life. I’ve personally seen it happen and although the bullying was not directed towards myself it was done to a loved one and has affected me. This is a very important issue that needs to be addressed with solutions being put into place.
