I Don'T Care

I don’t care if I’m all alone.
I don’t care if I don’t get a ring on my finger,
Or one on my phone.
I don’t care about how much money you got.
I don’t care if they call you Sir- Floss-A- Lot.
I don’t care if no one tells me how beautiful I am.
I don’t care I literally just don’t give a darn.

I don’t care if you talk about me.
I don’t care if I pass by you and you don’t speak.
I don’t care if you think I’m fat.
I don’t care if you think I’m an invalid.
I don’t care if someone comes,
And changes my name from Miss to Mrs.

Who cares?
I don’t!
Who will?
I won’t!

I don’t care if you call me a witch.
I don’t care because, 
I and my eyes don’t have time 
For all of the silliness.
I don’t care for all the mess.
I don’t care about what you’re doing
I only care about doing my best.

Are you hated? I write better when hated, it makes me a stronger writer gives me more ammo for my mental pistol......:JP}
