Good Girl

Sometimes

I don’t wanna be

What people

expect me to be

Sometimes

I just wanna break free

And just be

Who I want to be

In the moment

Sometimes I wanna be soul

The next, I wanna be rock and roll

Or sing me a ballad

To soothe

Just me

And just please

Me

Just me

Sometimes

I don’t wanna say

What people

Expect me to say

I wanna tell them to go away

Sometimes

I just wanna say

Every harsh word that comes to mind

Because they deserve it all

Sometimes

People make you

Wanna go there

Because it seems they don’t care

Sometimes

People push you

And hurt you

On purpose

But I

Choose to be kind

I choose to love

I choose to think of others first

Even when it hurts

But deep inside

if I’m honest

Sometimes I

Don’t feel like being

a good girl

Sometimes

I don’t want to get up

When the alarm goes off

I wanna say ef’ it and bury myself

Under the covers

For a few more hours

Get there when I’m ready

Sometimes

I wanna get in my car

with no one along

just me and my dog

and drive

till I run out of gas

but these thoughts don’t last

Always thinking of who I leave behind

Even when they forget me

Cuz I

Choose to be kind

I choose to love

I choose to think of others first

Even when it hurts

But deep inside

if I’m honest

with you and me

Sometimes I

Don’t feel like being

a good girl

It’s never really hard

For me to just be me

Although I am judged

And people criticize me

They go about their business

Sometimes I reach

They don’t reach back

But at the end of the day

They ain’t payin my way

So why should I care anyway

But I

Choose to be kind

I choose to love

I choose to think of others first

Even when it hurts

But deep inside

if I’m honest

Sometimes I

Don’t feel like being

a good girl
