I don't Care

As long as I breathe, all else is but a tale, Fleeting whispers, lost in the gale. For in the grand tapestry of time and space, Everything will fade, leaving only emptiness. But I, a spark of life, remain unshaken, My heartbeat, a defiant drum, unspoken. I don't care, for worldly woes will pass, Like autumn leaves, crumbling, lost in the grass. Fall I may, but rise I will, anew, For in resilience, my spirit renews. You may strike my left cheek, I'll offer my right, For forgiveness is the armor that ignites. The life I have, a precious, shining thread, Is woven with love, and forever spread. I don't care, for material chains that bind, For freedom's essence lies within my mind. In the depths of darkness, I'll find my way, For the light within, guides me through each day. I don't care, for the world's applause or scorn, For my soul's validation comes from within, born. Like a phoenix, I'll rise from the ashes gray, Unbroken, untamed, in an endless sway. For every storm will pass, the sun will shine, And in its warmth, my spirit will entwine. I don't care, for the stories that unfold, For my life's narrative is one of gold. In every breath, a new chance is born, To rise above, to love, to forgive, and to ado
