I Am...Despite's Resolution

Trying my best to keep up my grades, despite all my responsibilities

Making an effort to meet new people, despite all my insecurities

Going to the church to pray, despite all my doubts

Attending family gatherings, despite all my deviances

Working out in the gym, despite all my weaknesses

Displaying myself in front of an audience, despite all my secrets

Reading about society’s corruption, despite all my conspiracies

Watching the clouds shift, despite all my surroundings

Lying awake in bed at night, despite all my comforts

Speaking to my inner unconsciousness, despite all my awareness

Writing down my hopes and dreams, despite all my failures

Despite all my challenges, seeking the opportunity to one day be at ease
