Too good is half crazy
When I was young they could take advantage of me,
now I’m aware of my stupidity,
if they asked me to get something to drink or to eat,
I jumped in my car and ordered what they need.
But that was years ago
and now I often say no,
I’m not a puppet and it feels right
to have got my pride.
When you always do what they want
you can’t develop your own personality,
if you sometimes say you can’t
you will be self-confidently.
Now I say what’s on my mind
and if they can’t handle it I don’t care,
now I’m aware
that people laugh at you if you’re too kind.
They say I’m a difficult guy,
is there anyone who can say why?
is it because I can kill someone with words
and that I don’t care if it hurts?
This is my self-defence and I shouldn’t be proud
but I think it’s better to shout out loud
than going into your shell
and make your life turn into hell.

| ben ik het mee eens...want het is niet goed om jezelf voor het karretje van anderen te laten spannen...stel grenzen dat strekt je tot eer en het geeft innerlijk geluk, want al te goed is buurman''s gek hoor. Te zeggen waar het opstaat hoeft niet kwetsend maar kan wel duidelijk zijn...goed zo...sta je mannetje in het leven Liefs Cobie met waardering Goede morgen |
