What matters, Matters!

I sat at the edge of my door

And all I could think was

What would happen if

My presence was not felt?

If the world tried

And couldn’t feel me

If all it cried

But have to move on

‘Cause I know

Even if I stopped existing

The world has to hold on

 

The next day

I looked out of my window

And thought

What if I realize

That only I see

And others cannot see me?

If I was just an imagination

Of someone who would

Really care to have a being like me

I couldn’t set the thought straight

The feeling did not seem right.

 

I could care less

That me being here

Doesn’t make any difference

I couldn’t place myself

In the line of the world

Does that mean I am special?

Or does it mean that I am

Not someone that can be

Acceptable?

 

The day after

I sat down

And thought

What if it’s only me

Who thinks about all this?

‘Cause suddenly

I realize

I mean nothing to me

So on that day

I cried

I cried hard

Thinking of my pathetic situation

Thinking of myself

And scolding myself

For feeling sympathetic towards me

 

Finally yesterday

I couldn’t think anything

‘Cause by now

My thoughts had dried

And all I could do was

Breathe

Inhale

Exhale

 

And when the sun was

Touching the horizon

And with the beautiful night falling

I thought again

But this time

I thought

Did it all matter?

I will one day

Become extinct

I will one day

Become a person’s imagination

I would be special to some

I would be unacceptable to others

For all it mattered

I realized

For all its worth

I had Someone

To make me ‘ME’

 

Thus

I decided

I’ll live, love, cry, laugh

Knowing that the One

Who actually matters

Loves me just as who I am

Just as whom I was

When HE found me

excellent writing! I think the message here is twofold; one is that it doesn't matter who loves you except you; self love is important to all of us; second is: the last line that the Creator gives us unconditional love (for those who believe)....no matter who else does....
Thanks for sharing!
Warmly, B

The last two stanzas summed it up awesomely reminding us that our Creator love us no matter what we look like. His love matters the most. Kudos for a fab poem!


Plz also read and comment on any of my two newest poems as per your preference.

Wow! Thank you kindly.......

A self-introspecting poem with important questions and realizations at the end.
The Creator loves us, but the question arises: Do we love him or our priorities are elsewhere on material things? Do we follow the golden rule or not?
An excellent poem to ponder.

[supernova_thoughts]

Yes, that is something that we should think about. Thank you so much for stopping by. Take care.

An existential journey. This comes from the heart and goes to the heart. The answer is one that we all eventually have to come to. Well done.
