It mattered once

You’re moving on; you clear your drawers

Of files not needed any more.

The stuff to chuck goes in a heap 

So little here you need to keep.

You worked so hard; it mattered once

But now has no significance.

You work so hard you toil, you care

And all for what? It don’t seem fair.

In retrospect it’s all forgot

So much you did not worth a jot.

It’s cast aside thrown on the floor

It doesn’t matter any more.

So why the worry? Why the stress?

It made so little difference.

So much is trivia you can park;

Will be forgotten; leave no mark.

You wasted so much anxt for this

What did you gain in happiness?
