Analysis of For the Tough Guy



Fist raised he comes charging
Shut the f*** up b**** I should kill you
As a reflex she puts her arms up to block her face
Slowly she lowers them down
Realizing they were only playing the usual game
He loves to threaten but now it's her turn
She steps up and screams back
He's coming to save me
No one will be around to save you
