Overthinking


You dismiss it so easily, I wonder how that would be, Never giving life a second thought really, Must be nice to be so carefree, Never stay up til 4am wondering, Why I said it, What you really mean, If you were just being nice, Or if you meant it, What I could have said instead, Why...Why was I made like this?
