It Doesn't Matter

In the world of quiet voices and gossip,

Stand strong, because it really doesn't matter,

In the realm of whispers and chatter,

What others say, or what they might think,

Stand tall, for it doesn't truly matter,

Connect with your own truth.

What people say, or what they may think,

In your own truth, let your spirit link.

Opinions can change like the wind,

But your true self stays unique and strong,

For opinions, like winds, they may change,

Keep your dignity in the face of judgment,

But your essence remains, strong and strange,

Your value isn't something to chase.

In the mirror of judgment, hold your grace,

For your worth, my friend, is not a chase.

Let their words be like rain on a window,

Heard for a moment, then forgotten,

Let their words be like rain on glass,

You write your own life story,

Briefly heard, then let them pass,

In life's design, you are the highlight.

For you are the author of your own story,

In the tapestry of life, you're the glory.

Follow the path you decide to walk,

Walk confidently, hold your head high,

Embrace the path that you choose to tread,

In the end, your heart's song will remain,

With confidence, walk, lift your head,

What others think? It will disappear.

In the end, it's your heart's song that'll stay,

What others think? It shall fade away.

Let their talk be a faint noise,

As you shine like the morning sun,

So let their talk be a distant hum,

In your true self, you are free,

As you shine bright, like the morning sun,

It doesn't matter, because you have the power.

In the truth of your being, you're free,

It doesn't matter, for you hold the key.
