My strides...

who Matter who minds

Those Who Mind Don't Matter, & Those Who Matter Don't Mind

Walking stealthily on the road of life
Full of happiness & at times strife
But, I overcome the plights that come my way
And move on a step at a time day by day

On my way, people come & people go
But, life’s a river, & so it carries on its flow
It crosses all the obstacles that come in its trail
It never stops & moves on & on without fail

I move along the river like trout on its surface
Paying no heed to those who come & go in life’s race
Continuing further with the flow, I find a friend
Who promises to stay with me till the end yes afriend like u!

She tells me to change—to change my attitude
She tells me to show off, be pompous & a little rude
And so for my friend I try to change my way
But, in that false attire, I could no longer stay

I told my friend what I bore in my heart
I am what I am & I haven’t changed from the start
My friend just didn’t understand, & so she took a different route
I first did moan, but then I forgot her & followed suit

And so like this false friend, many others came by
When I refused to change, they left without a sigh
As each one passed by, I knew
That forever friends are very few

Then one fine day, I met another
Who also held my hand & we moved together
She did just what the others had done
Like the others, she was my friend & we had fun

But, soon I knew she wasn’t like he same
For she needed only friendship & no fame
She accepted all my good & bad things
And taught me fly as if I had wings

Fly & be who I am without caring for what they say
For it’s my life & they are only guests for a day
It was then that I found out
What life was all about

That you must say what you feel & be who you are
Never change yourself & no goal is too far
Those who mind don’t matter, & those who matter don’t mind
Cause this is way of life & at every step this is what you’ll find
