Direct,
Physically dominant.
Unargueably aggressive,
Yet,
So unnoticed.

Recognisable colours,
Hidden behind,
Covering deceit.
Deceptive courage,
Fake smile,
Grimacing strength.

Cowering,
Submission is granted.
Obvious circumstances,
So misunderstood,
Retreat,
Access denied.

Apologies don't exist,
Escape artist,
Mascuerading as the helpless,
Only the strong,
Survive in,
Shadows.

Sudden movement,
Hard, cold floor.
Casualty,
More questions,
More lies,
No truth,
Is ever uttered.
