The day you become the bully
The day you turn the bully is the day you truly lose—
Not a game, not a fight, but the battle with yourself you choose.
The day you turn the bully is the day you set
Your own respect on a dusty shelf, where your better self forgets.
This chapter will slowly ingrain
A derelict, echoing kind of pain
That settles deep within your chest,
A quiet rot you can’t arrest.
And rather than acceptance, your heart will learn
To dance to a beat that twists and turns—
A muffled rhythm meant to hide
The cruel relevance you hold inside.
Day by day, a soul will fold—
From afar, it may look torn, or old, or cold,
A piece of scrap worn thin by fear,
But each new crease makes something clear.
For every fold reveals a side
Of who we are, of what we hide,
And zoomed out, the scars we see
Become intricate human origami—
Built from hurt, yet somehow free,
A fragile, fierce geometry.
But here’s the truth that bullies miss:
Power never blooms from this.
Taking light will dim your own;
Breaking others breaks your throne.
So choose the harder path to take—
Lift the hands you could’ve made shake.
Mend a crease instead of tearing it through.
Because the day you choose kindness—
is the day you win you !!
