Why Should It Matter?

Why should it matter?
Yes, I'm alone but I'm happy.
Who are you to ask me why I'm unattached?
How could it possibly influence you?
It doesn't.
There are more ways to measure strength.
Ways to comprehend the way I live my life
But they don't fit into your box.
Must be sad for you.
To fell the need to make everything singular.
Nothing about me has ever been cookie cut
Why should it matter?
I have no need for those things in my life
Scientists may say it'd be better,
But they can bend the facts however they choose.
My life is not yours to dictate.
I am happy the way things are.
Forcing things will do nothing.
Don't ask me those questions
Don't act as if you have the right to pry
My relationship status means absolutely nothing.
It does not measure my value,
It does not calculate my skill,
It is nothing more than a trait.
What should it matter?
Why do you look away as though it's shameful?
I may be without a date on a Saturday night,
But I have respect for myself
I'm not going to be with someone,
Just for the sake of being in a relationship
I'm not going to change myself
Just so I'd be more appealing to someone else.
Because at the end of the day,
The only opinion that matters is mine.
So why does it matter to you?
