Despite The Same

Despite my fears
Despite my flaws
Despite my questions
My reservations
Or qualms

Despite the danger
Despite my doubts
Despite the pain
My purpose
Or unheard shouts

Despite my lack
Despite my longing
Despite my insecurities
Or thirst for belonging

Despite my do’s
My don’ts
Or any unconnection
Despite the known, or unknown
Or misdirection

Despite the risks
Or flashing red lights
Despite the monsters
The “might not’s” or the “mights”

Despite my wishes
Or unmet wants
Despite my thinking
Or clouded thoughts

Despite the distance
Or the reflections
Despite the obstacles
Or misconceptions

Despite my demons
My shadows
My ghosts
Despite my wills
My maybes
My wont’s

I
Gave
You
My
Heart

I
Gave
You
Myself

I wish you would have done the same
Despite The Same
