Inauthentic Bravery
by Alyssa Tilly
Inhibitions lost in the spirits of the unspoken truth.
A coward gains the courage
he could never attain without his tonic.
When his liquid poison runs dry
he is forced to face the words
that were spilled at the hands of inauthentic bravery.
He does not possess the strength
to uphold his promises.
