Attack.

So much ferocity in one word.

Attack.

It usually means war.

Attack.

Would you do it in your own home?

No.

You attack the enemy.

The intruder.

You don't attack your friend.

But he does.

Lying in the shadows.

Preparing to pounce at any sign of weakness.

i try not to crumble under the pressure,

But he finds me.

He attacks me.

I'm not the enemy.

The battle doesn't end until a shot is fired.

And even then,

The war is not won.
