No Apologies at Midnight

Midnight don’t negotiate.

Clock strikes twelve, I’m wide awake Some men fold — I escalate City hums like it knows my name I don’t play safe in a losing game

No silver tongue, no fake disguise You see it clear in my eyes I don’t rewind what’s already done I don’t shoot blanks — I don’t run

You want clean lines? You won’t find them here.

No apologies at midnight No soft edges, no rewrite If it’s said, it’s said for life I don’t blur truth to keep it light You want a man who bends — that ain’t me I don’t break just to keep peace When the clock hits twelve — I stand tall No apologies at all

At midnight.

She said, “You’re hard.” I said, “Correct.” I don’t beg for self-respect I don’t water down my flame To make you comfortable with my name

Pressure builds — I don’t flinch I don’t whisper, I don’t inch If the truth makes people split That just means it fits

I don’t smooth the blade To make it shine

No apologies at midnight No retreat, no white flag fight If I cross the line — I own it I don’t hide and I don’t postpone it You want comfort? Look elsewhere I don’t soften what I wear When the dark draws close and tight No apologies at midnight

You don’t build a spine in daylight. You build it when it’s quiet. When no one’s clapping. When no one’s watching.

No apologies at midnight No regret to rewrite I speak straight, I stand firm I don’t wait for my turn If it costs me — fine I’d rather lose than undermine When the world wants compromise I choose truth over disguise

No apologies.

At midnight.
