#despite
For things of beauty
Constantly am I searching,
Despite the bleakness.

I will take this moment
Clutch it between my teeth
Bite down into its seams
And even though
The burn is bittersweet
Nothing else
Will ever matter more to me
Than loving this moment,
This life,
As violently as I need

Tear at my flesh
you still can never
reach my soul
Daring and Willfull
trying to get in
despite the pain
Knuckles bruised
not giving up
wanting to reach there
for you see
you can't hurt me
I'm blessed in this flesh
Reincarnation
built this fence
around me
Sadly you will lose
as , I stand here
looking into your hell
Seeing what once was human
now all , I see is
the sad sad
weaker of you
I live in spite of you
and you will never
reach what's
mine
my soul is human

What's gotten into me?
Well, it's spite silly
Despite a lack of a vacancy
Much needed for what's actually important to me

Fragile fragments fade forever
As heart is erased
Emotions won't budge
Forgotten never
Wishes were a waste
Harmony hardened
Harmful haste
Hate the way time twisted our thoughts
You don't even remember the taste
Of tongues tied into knots
Why thoughts of us remain
Though you've disappeared
Is a burden I can't ascertain
Reason is unclear
Stubbornly clinging to pieces of the past
Remnants of love both once knew
Cannot comprehend we didn't last
Everything we have been through
As icicles decorating roof outside
Melt as snow slowly thaws
Water droplets fall like tears cried
For each one you are the cause
Directing chills up and down my spinal cord
Could shoulder makes me shake
Shiver in shadows as I am ignored
Never thought I would be the one you forsake
I hear words said long ago
Yet too significant to forget
You loved me and begged me not to go
Your adoration somehow reset
The death of our unique connection
Left me with nothing but grief
Cannot accept this is really the end of our intersection
Obsession arouses disbelief
So many years now washed down the drain
Like you vanished into thin air
Loneliness steadily drives brain insane
Can't help but miss you despite the despair

Everyday
You would shout
Scream
And belt.
With each word
You drove a sword through
My child mind
Thank you for the wounds
Thank you for the insults
Without your fierce
Sad and insecure stabs
I’d never be so determined
To be the exact opposite
Of who you think I am.

life is paradoxically beautiful and cruel,
but happiness and discontentment is just a mental duel,
there are so many reasons to be happy
despite having landed rock bottom,
despite regrets,
despite pain,
despite loss,
despite grief,
despite hell.
life's too short to let your demons dance your own stage,
to let pain and death tremble you as your misery's wage,
life won't ever be out to get you, so smile at that,
you're not born in demand to have your whole life mapped;
write, compose, maybe shout what you feel,
paint art in abstractions, in lines with zeal,
listen to the kind of music that would wrap your soul safe & sound
laugh at the misery, because as tough as it is, you can't be dragged down.

I know it's a difficult time,
Understand that you are characteristic
And so on -
- Despite being characteristically
You are still excellent ...
As for my current mood,
It is very similar to the last minutes of the apocalypse
Feel the love.

Despite me
I am loved
Despite me
I am forgiven
Despite me
Jesus came from above
Despite me
Eternal life was given
Despite me
I was shown real love
Despite me
My whole life, I'll give him

C.E.W,
How long it's been
since you've said your goodbyes
I think of you still
even though I don't wish to
I know
you don't regret it
And I know
I always will, even if just a little
Because despite myself
I was truly, utterly devoted to you
How strange it is
To have been cut out of your life
By your own hands
So final, and definite your judgement
But despite these feelings
I still want you to be buried beneath the snow this winter
Even though I loved you
You've done me wrong, and that I can't forgive
Goodbye,
E.L.C

Despite what I try to think
I know it's not me

You were always loving me "despite"
I needed you to love me "because"

Breathe deeply and exhale.
See life again with all conditions,
Despite closing your eyes.

despite
a corrupt system
despite
a corrupt society
despite
being controlled by the media
despite
our lack of questioning
our lack of creativity
our lack of thought
despite
our lives
we live them like sheep
content with what we have
and terrified of change
despite
the people we have become
we cannot overthrow those who have
controlled us for so long
we are so unused to
thinking for ourselves
that no one is able
to rule their minds
a reset button would be handy
but we will continue to make the same mistakes
over and over again
do not be content with what you have
always strive for more
question everything
your life will become
immensely more difficult
but at least you are learning
at least you are forming your own thoughts
the pack system is great for survival
but we no longer need to rely on each other
it is not a matter of life and death to think
relieve yourself of the pack mindset
and set your thoughts free
you have constricted them for so long
they no longer know how to function properly
in my use of words
i hope that someone will stop and listen
despite the crazy, almost radical mindset
that is portrayed as terrifyingly dangerous to society
i am but a child
with thoughts still roaming free

The minutes tick down to a new year...
But so many lies and problems I know I'll hear...
So before 2017 ends... There is something I need to say everyone I know...
*Despite all the times you may have lied and betrayed to me...
Despite all the times you may have tore me away from my friends and family...
Despite all the times you may have believed your sin would always be hidden
Despite all the times you may have said trust was fore bidden
Despite all the times you may have inflicted damage or harm
Despite all the times you may have accused me of alarm
Despite all the times you may have insulted me and pushed me aside
Despite all the times you may have ignored my words, and allowed my love to go dry
Despite the times you may have yelled and screamed to my face
Despite the anger you may feel towards me, and the bitterness you incase
and lastly... Despite Everything Single Thing You Have Done Wrong...*
I Still Love You And Will Always Forgive You...
Despite and Regardless...

I want to hold on to you,
even if it burns me.
I want to be next to you,
despite how you've hurt me.

I wish I knew how to feel ten times bigger than myself
but I get so lost in the swarm that is me, that is inside of me
this being and entity that I am sometimes too out of touch with
and sometimes I can't separate myself from
I need to feel you, I need to feel that you feel me and I need to know that you see me
but I can't even see myself
can't even fix myself
I get so lost in the sadness that comes from constant failure and I lose touch with all the love that surrounds me
animals who loves me, the man who loves me
I want a man who tells me he needs his girl
you always need your girl
I love you so much
I love you so much for wanting me
I feel like you love me despite of who I am, how I am, who I am, how I am....
what separates my actions from who I am as a person, as a partner?
I may forget everything else, but I will never forget my love for you
I will never forget the pain that comes from just the thought of losing you
I want this to work, I want to work, I want to make this work
I can't' lose myself, but I myself am lost
I can't lose this, I can't lose you
what am I to do?
Where will we be in ten years time, will we love each other still or will our frustrations stopped our hearts from feeling the love despite what we are together?
I want you to love me for who I am, I need you to love me for who I am
not despite who I am...
I need to love me for who I am
not despite who I am

Over time, our foundation cracks.
And yet, we still keep going.
With dents and splinters and broken pieces.
We keep living and breathing and smiling.
And that, dear reader, is a beautiful miracle that so many miss.
That despite our ragged edges, we're still here.

No safe place to be found, no refuge for mind, or soul
Wandering around, finding a way, of filling up the hole
The past becomes lost, heading into the fade, each and every time
Determining the cost, hand upon the blade, not guilty of the crime
Blood upon my fingers and face, they don't know, it is my own
Eternally lost without a trace, a million miles from home
Staging my demise, lost in the mists, a lack of hills to climb
Eyes on the prize, as the knife twists, in spirit and in rhyme

Leaving your mark upon me,
Kissing my shaking hand,
Keeping my dreams above me,
Loving me despite high demand,
I do not deserve you.
Calming my nervous thought,
Holding me in your arms,
Helping me through fights fought,
Standing beside me despite alarms,
I do not deserve you.
Ignoring the unnecessary struggles I cause,
Embracing my love, although I might be annoying,
Loving me despite all my flaws,
Accepting all that comes from me, and all that is adjoining,
And I do not deserve you.
