It Does Matter ....

What does it matter what I want
if I can't have it anyway...
Because to keep on wanting something
is one more good reason
to wake up with hope every morning...
Because to live but stop wanting anything
is almost akin to cease on truly living ...
to surrender to the challenges of life,
and go through it without meaning ...


Some who may suffer the void of loneliness may say...
What does it matter what I want
if I cant have it anyway ...?
But then, perhaps not just yet...
maybe later when the time is right..
with the right person
so no more sadness & regret ...

I feel, as long as you believe
your heart's in the right place
and unselfishly caring ...
Regardless of the empty space beside you...
it DOES matter what you want
as long as you know, deep in you,
that you're truly deserving
in the same measure
you can give back all that loving ....

About this poem:
Inspired by the ff. lines I heard while watching a youtube video, that I've now forgotten what it was so can't provide the reference here anymore....

" What does it matter what I want ... when I can't have it "?

You are so right, Island girl! It really does matter, and to live without wanting anything, is not 'living'; it's merely existing.

Love it!.wine

Thank you Didi ... even with ti ges of sadness , I always try to see the better side of things when I write... and share some of my verses to inspire others as it often helps to simply know that one is not alone in thinking so ...
