Default What is this weed? Need help please

This looks like speedwell. Corn speedwell is an upright, clumping
winter annual that produces small purple flowers in the spring. Corn
speedwell does not typically persist very long after flowering.
Attempts to control corn speedwell in the spring are usally
unsuccessful because the plant is at the end of its lifecycle. This
type of weed is best controlled with a post emergent herbicide during
its peak in may or november.
