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?
