Brain’s A Mayfly

Why overthink
Why care about those who don’t matter 
4 hours pass

Whoever caused your pain 
Whoever caused remains a who
4 hours pass

When will that person play a role again?
When will that person be important?
4 hours pass

What is the reason you feel that way
What is the reason you allowed it
4 hours pass

Where is this person relevant?
Where is this person going to stand in next years?
4 hours pass

Now it’s the final 4 hours of this day
And four more hours of sorrow
4 hours pass
The mayfly passes
