Why Bother

Why should I bother?
You didn't plan on sticking around for my response anyway
Asking how I am
3 words every 3 weeks
Why even bother?
Is that actually supposed to make me think that you care?
No
Save your terse words for someone else
Someone who doesn't care to know how you are
Because seriously
Why ask if you don't intend to hear the answer?
Spare me your courtesy dangle
You have no time for a conversation
And no intention of listening 
So, why bother asking me how I am unless you are truly interested

No response is a response 
And I'm withholding mine
Because you really don't deserve one
