Being Good

Tired of being nice
Tired of being taken for granted
They say do something good 
Forgotten and unappreciated
Do something bad
They almost got it printed

What's good in doing good when it doesn't seem right
It's not about self-gain and whatnot
Just saying that one bad thing done, makes the  million good things done wasted

So tell me, what's good in being that good

Talents, Intelligence, they all come with a great price
People support when you are beneficial
They congratulate, celebrate - not a single dot and shadow were there in tribulations

Its not about playing nice to please them
Sometimes we are just too much tired
To feel used, underappreciated, and taken for granted
Let alone be the bad guy when you make mistakes

Sometimes please consider that we are not AI's and generated machines
For once and all
We're human beings
