Someday I’ll be able
To stop overthinking
To put aside the worries and cares
Even just for a moment
To shut off and unwind
But today is not that day
With all this running around in my head
That I can’t escape
Maybe some part of me
Lives for the drama
And insanity of it all
But I’d really prefer
Not to feed the voices
In the back of my head
I’d rather be happy
I’d rather be free
I’d rather be able to do what I want
And not have to think of everyone else
Just once, can’t I cast off
The weight of responsibility
And thoughts of the future
And just let go?
Just once can’t I focus
On what I want
And not what I should do?
Or am I doomed
To carry the burdens
Of everyone else
With more importance and weight
Than my own?
