Why Does It Matter Poem by chip reed

why does it matter

blindness would rather

the truth hurts still

its important to have will

i get it now

i never needed to know

the more i learn

the less you show

the words i dont care bleed through my mouth

while my eyes just stare

i dont want, i dont need

anything you could possibly offer to me

lots of people leave

why do i need to grieve

all of my tears all of your fears

lonely having it be only

an illusion

all of the things im through doing

what do i belive in

it sure isn't becoming them

i hate how i am, but love how i been

i dont like being unjustly entitled

go ahead think of me as an undeserving child

im happy you do

who on this ill rotten planet wants to be like you

ill live this masked life

patheticness reigns till the day i die

i blately understand the meaning of your sympathy

following your useless apology

want is selfish

pushing me to feel like this

want is greed just let things be

to live for you or live for me

throw life away and stay

who i am lies in the question

what i can?

i dont know

is all i give to show

what does matter

living for you living for me

lets wait and see what things will be

did u ever care about me

from all that i gather

why does anything to do with me even matter
