Despite

The grass-like leaves,

line the dividing wall,

drinking up,

all the sunligh they can get,

despite everything.

despite, despite.

i wish that I,

covered in filth,

and smoke,

of passing cars,

would be as calm,

as strong.

but i break ,

and the cars drive by,

boohoo.

loser,

‘despite’

is not in a loser’s dictionary.
