Does It Really Matter That It Doesn'T

My love so you have a history has the past then written it indelibly all things you think you should be you respond to all those things conglomerate with all the things you think you perceive And the world does not equate nor does it equal your tears or measure your pain look around you my love tell me is your laughter echoing in the world when does the world touch or appreciate the heights you have reached Yes in sorrow you could if you wish forever weep Ah, my love I have seen you dance I have watched you reach beyond and struggle to be above seen your spirit soar and witnessed your gratitude in eyes filled with tears and lips brimming with smiles Does the world now hammer you into some unfitting and peculiar mold are all those sad things now chiseled into stone are they carved within you have they hung their scarecrows in your soul for the emptying of your heart and do you fall prostrate before them a victim ah, my love your unrecognized heroism makes you more than that So you have a history a life time of doubts and courageous I wanna be's so the disappointments of all your expectations never proved to you what you wanted them to be so you tried and failed you never knew you would succeed and still the misappropriation of your intentions seemed incongruent to your destiny Is it then by mishap and mischance that your life at times is defined by happy has it not held you so close to all those things you dreamed would be did you loose them or live them within time and its passing scenery does it matter now did it matter then or at any other point at which you choose to begin each day to redefine your purpose and meaning So my love you have a history and all its weight of yesterday may drag with you into tomorrow a typewritten record in your memory can be depicting your triumphs or be the tales of your sometime sad regret does it really matter that it doesn't have any effect upon this story in writing this ever changing moment of your living did you unwittingly forget all you have today
