About BEING GOOD: 3/12
I sat down and I tried to write what the song is about, I started writing over and over again and every time I stopped, I had a feeling of philosophizing or that I wasn't entirely standing behind what I was writing about. In general, the song reveals the place in me that really wants to be good. Good to those around me, to myself, to the world, to nature, towards animals, and to be good in what I do. But the world keeps challenging me a lot and makes it difficult for me to be good.
Not long ago, I decided that I won't lie anymore! Not even white lies... It's reeeeally hard, lol
. Every time I ran into an unpleasant person, whether was it on the streets, government employees, some neighbors, or any other unpleasant reaction towards me. It dragged me into negative thoughts and I did convey these negativities, sometimes.
I would really love to hear whom of you also have had difficult situations with it and what challenges you have? How do you overcome negativity?
So, the song talks about these life circumstances, the hope for a peace of mind, and the desire to change something in the society. How does our daily life badly challenge our sympathy? How do we deal with it and what helps me? A huge thank you to all of you who are listening and following. I appreciate each and every feedback that I'm getting from you.

Much Love,

it came from nowhere and I wasn't prepared.
I learned that a witch's potion
can turn a person into a fake.
drugs and negative emotions can turn purple into black.
Jealousy can drive me out of me.
swimming in an ocean of caution.
seems to dislike my new devotion,
negative emotions tend to propagate
faster than the goods.
I'm in the mood I'm not yet screwed,
Working on my attitude.
I'm not here to brood.
It's the wisdom that I'm chasing,
through meditation,
I'm comprehending,
it's the never-ending struggle.
Being Good.
Lack of proportion,
Dangerous motion, get me in distortion.
It's so hard to be good
I'm in the mood I'm not yet screwed,
Working on my attitude.
I'm not here to brood.
It's the wisdom that I'm chasing,

I'm comprehending,
it's the never-ending struggle.
It's so hard to be good
