What doesn't matter is how I dress-

With granny pants and big, baggy shirts.

What doesn't matter is how I look-

With no makeup to mar the true beauty of my face.

What doesn't matter is how I talk-

With shy and quiet words.

What doesn't matter is how I think-

With never-before-thought-of-ideas.

What doesn't matter is what people may say of me-

With people forever gossiping.

What doesn't matter is what people think of me-

Because I already know what I think of myself.

But what does matter is...

What I say, what I think, what I do.

What matters is...

What I believe, what I love, what I hate.

What matters is...

What I know, what I want to know, how I act.

What matters 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.
