Walk with me through darkened streets
Off the path of life’s deceits
We’ll walk in shadows out of sight
With no betrayal by the light
We must keep hidden our heart and soul
From all the hate that would take its toll
It lingers in alleys that we pass
And stares so hard through the window’s glass
Seeking a glimpse of where we might be
Silhouette could betray easily
So be sure to stay where shadows fall
And listen not to it’s tempting call

With the right soul-armour, you have many more paths open to you. The light reflected off that armour would defeat the stares and greeds directed at you in the highways and byways of your life. Your poem here expressed extremely well the cautions felt necessary by the survivors of many slings and arrows.
