The Knight Who Stands

I am the shadow that doesn’t retreat,

A steady fire where the chaos meets.

Not here to charm, not here to please,

I cut the noise, I claim the keys.

I don’t bend, I don’t chase,

I hold the line, I guard the gate.

Feared a little, never tame,

You’ll remember my name.

Billions drift like waves that fall,

But I stand firm, I take it all.

Not a mask, not a sweet disguise,

I burn with truth behind my eyes.

I am the pillar when the world decays,

The unflinching guard when the silence sways.

If you dare to stay, you’ll see my hand—

The Knight who claims, who will not stand down.

I don’t bend, I don’t chase,

I hold the line, I guard the gate.

Feared a little, never tame,

You’ll remember my name.
