They see the surface, judge the mask I wear,
Assume the worst from the comfort of their chair.
It’s not who I am, it’s what I am they despise,
Hidden agendas masked by friendly ties.
I speak my truths; they recoil in fear,
My words, too sharp, too sincere.
An echo of freedom, a call to the wise,
Underneath, they fear what my spirit implies.
Crafted by battles, forged in flames,
A soul that’s free, never tamed.
They hate the fire that in my heart resides,
The light of knowledge I refuse to hide.
Against the grain, I carve my path,
A tempest’s wrath in the aftermath.
For what I am, they wish to erase,
But my essence is something they can never replace.
Misunderstood, I walk this road alone,
Their whispers chilling to the bone.
Yet with each step, my resolve grows strong,
In my heart, I know I belong.
They hate not the man, but what he stands for,
A defiance of norms, an opening door.
A mirror to their shadows, a challenge to their night,
I am the dawn, the unyielding light.
Let them sneer, let them doubt,
Their disdain I can do without.
For it’s not who I am but what I dare,
Their hatred, a badge I’m willing to wear.
With each word I write, each line I create,
I unmask the pretenders, challenge fate.
It’s not who I am, it’s what I provoke,
A voice for the voiceless, the invisible folk.
At our battle stations, we brace for their blows,
Standing firm as the storm around us grows.
They launch their assaults, but we fight back,
Our spirits armored against every attack.
So let them hate what they can’t understand,
I’ll keep being true to what I am.
For in this life, one thing remains clear:
It’s the heart of my mission they fear, not the man they jeer.
