despite

Despite the recent past and the difficulties in the present

I try to carry on



Despite the demons within my mind telling me that nothing's fine

I shake it off and try to carry on



Despite all of the wrongs that I’ve done in life, I’m trying to stand up and take responsibility

so others may carry on



Despite the ebb and flow of tears and thoughts that pervade every piece of my mind

I try to carry on

Despite all of the mountains that seem to grow before me

I try to climb each peak and carry on



Despite the actions that made me walk into this darkened room

I keep my eyes steadily fixed ahead so I can carry on



Carry on to a better time.

Carry on to a better me.

Carry on so that I can find myself within this unrecognizable place that I am somehow calling home.

Despite all odds…I’m carrying on.
