The Way You Want
The world doesn’t revolve around you
the way you want.
It has its own pattern of movement
you may like to follow
or you may not,
the world doesn’t really care.
It doesn’t matter.
The people by your side don’t see you
the way you want.
They have their own vision of intent
you may strive to perceive
or you may not,
the people don’t truly bother.
It doesn’t matter.
The time doesn’t turn its wheel
the way you want.
It makes its own track ever extant
you may try to find
or you may not,
the time doesn’t ever waver.
It doesn’t matter.
The destiny doesn’t decide your journey
the way you want.
It has its own design to implant
you may toil to decipher
or you may not,
the destiny doesn’t actually dither.
It doesn’t matter.
The mind makes cold compromises
the way you want.
It has its own sane traits of restraint
you may learn to recognize
or you may not,
the rational mind doesn’t surely falter.
It does factually matter.
The soul creates hidden peace for you
the way the conscience wants.
It has its own sea of tranquility inherent
you may seek to sink
or you may not,
the still soul makes you happy forever.
It does perennially matter.
