Cringing a reflex of being hit
Now a part of his sinew
Learned behavior he will be

This is true, and it’s a really good thing when the cycle is broken. It’s been my pleasure linking up with OctPoWriMo, I am totally enjoying the experience…though I tend to be a little off on my own..not following the prompts etc. :)-
