Unbroken Light

In shadows cast by whispers cruel embrace/
A victim of their baseless fears and scorn/
For faith, for truth, for what they can't replace/
I stand, though battered by the storm/
Their hate, a torrent, floods the fragile ground/
Yet in my heart, a fire burns so bright/
Falsely accused, my innocence profound/
Their lies can't cloak my ever rising light/
Emotions surge, a tempest in my soul/
But hate's cold grip can never reach it's core/
For I am strong, unyielding and whole/
A survivor, steadfast, evermore/
Their hate, a fleeting shadow, passes by/
But my divine light, eternal, shines anew/
Unbroken spirit, reaching for the stars/
Their darkness can't extinguish what is true/
