overthinker

I woke up this morning
Wondering how the day would go
Thought too much about it
’til my mind broke

Pushed through, yeah
I pushed on, even though
My mind was broken
No where left to go

I forgot what they taught me
Yet remembered all the pain
Trying (my best) to keep good posture
Fighting (off) thoughts of disdain

You called me a loser
On me you place your blame
Fighting thoughts of finality
Loving you was the greatest shame

Kind of a sad one. Sometimes we chose the wrong person with whom to fall in love. There is always a chance to find and fall in love with someone else though. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
