It doesn’t matter until it does 🪽

It doesn’t matter until it does.

It doesn’t matter what you talk about,
until you realize words shape destinies,
like whispers in the wind, they carry weight unseen.
It doesn’t matter how you look,
until you see the world’s reflection in a mirror,
where eyes judge before hearts know.

It doesn’t matter who your company is,
until the door of opportunity closes,
because the world saw not you,
but the shadows that stood beside you.

It doesn’t matter where you are,
until you stand still and watch dreams pass by,
like ships that sail only for those who dare to leave the shore.

It doesn’t matter until it does.
It doesn’t matter who you marry,
until your child’s eyes mirror their tears,
born from choices made in moments of indifference.

It doesn’t matter if you keep your words kind,
until you see the scars your tongue can carve,
deep into souls who trusted you.

It doesn’t matter if you give time to friends,
until you find yourself alone,
with echoes of laughter that once filled your days.

It doesn’t matter if you chase your dreams,
until the twilight of life,
when regrets become the ghosts of what could have been.

It doesn’t matter until it does,
for in the reality of existence,
every step, every choice, forms the story we become.
