No Matter

No matter the support, no matter being strong, 

no matter plowing thru. No matter. 

No matter imperfection, no matter struggle, 

no matter remember the good. No matter. 

No matter decades, no matter unbearable, 

no matter floating. No matter. 

No matter it is not depressing, no matter it is sad, 

no matter it will lessen. No matter. 

No matter roads taken, no matter sunsets missed, 

no matter perfect light. No matter. 

No matter holidays, no matter how tough, 

no matter it's different. No matter. 

No matter.
