What doesn't matter is how I dress-
With baggy pants and big baggy shirts.
What doesn't matter is how I look-
With no makeup to Hide the true beauty of my face.
What doesn't matter is how I talk-
With loud and random words.
What doesn't matter is how I think-
With not so smart ideas.
What doesn't matter is what people may say about me-
With people forever spreading rumors.
What doesn't matter is what people think of me-
Because I know already what I think of myself.
But what does matter is...
What I say, what I think and what I do.
What does matter is...
What I believe, what I love and what I hate.
What does matter is...
What I know, what I want to know and how I act.
What does matter is...
Not what other people think or do or say,
But what I have done...
To make the world I live in be a place, worthy of life and living.
