"The Good Kid" came from a place of discomfort, in a moment of personal reflection: I was thinking about how hard it is for me to speak up, set boundaries and handle conflict. While writing, memories from my childhood rushed in, and I realized how much those early experiences shaped the adult I became.

What started as one emotional song turned into a creative wave. I’ve written several songs since then - some of which made it to my album "Release".

[Intro]
"Isn't he strange?"
"Look at him... he's so... different!"

[Verse]
There’s a kid in the back, quiet and small
Eyes on the ground, afraid to stand tall
Trying to blend, to just be the same
Hiding what’s different, masking the shame

[Verse]
They’d laugh and point, call him out of place
Mock his steps, the look on his face
So he learned to please, to make them smile
Played the good kid, always in denial

[Chorus]
I’m tired of being that good kid to this day
Carrying fear in the things I say
Holding my nature, keeping it soft
Afraid to speak up, to shake things off
Self-doubt lingers, a weight I know
Afraid of the stares, afraid to show

[Verse]
I learned to outshine, to earn their praise
Thinking I’d change in a hundred ways
But here I am, still stuck in the past
In rooms full of people, fading fast

[Verse]
Words feel heavy, I hide what's real
Afraid they’ll judge what I'll reveal
Smiles disguise the weight inside
Still that kid, stepping out of sight

[Outro]
I don’t want to keep holding back...
No, no, no, no...
I’m tired of hiding, I'm tired of the lack...
Hope I can break these chains
Piece by piece
Step by step
Toward my release...
