Why do we Care?



After they go, I'm all alone
Nobody was there to pick up my phone.
I wonder why I tried in the first place,
Life is too short of making it a race.

Say what you want, do as you please,
It can be as stupid as climbing trees.
Live your life to the best,
Have no problems, don't make it a test.

If they don't accept you, let them be,
Let them ask "who is she?"
In the end, it does not matter.
So what's the point of making our hearts fatter?
