I'd Succeed

I'd succeed but I run out of time by counting the seconds without a clock.

I'd succeed but my pen runs out from using it or dries up from never using it at all.

I'd succeed but I succeed even better at failure.

I'd succeed but I draw so long in black and white that I start to call colors different shades
of grey.

I'd succeed but I can only remember that I can't remember what I am told.

I'd succeed but I spend so long staring at clouds that I don't see them getting ready to rain
on me.

I'd succeed but I like being made humble. And like it I must!

I'd succeed but I try not to try and don't do what I want to do.

I'd succeed but I have a succession of failure to emulate.

I'd succeed but failure is my friend. 

Doesn't Matter

It matters not if I'm hot when you're so cool
It matters not if my genius trips me up for a fool
It matters not if I go to college if I've leapfrogged school
It matters not if I reign if someone's raining on my rule

Doesn't matter doesn't matter
Matters not
Scatter drops with ink blot
Matters not matters not
It doesn't matter
If I count up all I've not got

It doesn't matter if I sleep when I've no bed
It matters not the words in my silent head
Doesn't matter what I say when I don't speak
It matters not the size of the waterfall
in the unplugged leak

Doesn't matter doesn't matter
It matters not
If you can see thru that spoiled ink blot
It doesn't matter about the art if I've not got heart
It matters not if I never finish if I ever start

You say it matters but I'm not sure
I'm like the shell that's speaking to no-one
On the lonely shore
Ants they scatter
Pigs get fatter
Does it matter anymore
Are you sure
There's any sense in the clothes we wore?

Doesn't matter
Don't matter anymore
It matters not matters not
What anything's for.
