Walking Through The Veil of Hate

I walk through life like a shadow unseen,  
Because they treat me like I’ve never been.  
No chains can bind me, no laws confine,  
Yet they whisper doubts as if they’re mine.  

Why do you fear the faith I hold?  
Why does my truth leave hearts so cold?  
Is it my wisdom that shakes your ground,  
Or the strength in me that won’t bow down?  

I have seen the darkest nights unfold,  
Where silence screams and hate takes hold.  
Yet through the storm, I stand unbowed,  
Resilient still, never cowed.  

Through the veil of hate, I stride,  
Unfazed by scorn, untouched by pride.  
For in the fire, I forge my way,  
And rise anew with each new day.
