It Matters Not
What I write matters not to the world
How I write matters even less
The words themselves seek no approval
Their meaning demands no understanding
Letters quietly laid down unceremoniously
Whisper their commitment to the paper only
The sentiment lingers on them like cologne
Reasoning resides within the coagulated ink
Entombed, the meaning lay deathly still
Overshadowed by the pretense of the finder
Over time words and meaning both shall fade
Returning to obscurity without notice
They are not mine to control nor yours
For it matters not to the world what was said
And matters less to the world how it was felt
For they were only words upon a page
That lay alone in their own comprehension
