Nice is Different than Good

People always tell me
'You're so nice!"
They never believe that I hate little kids.
Or that I am more than willing to stuff a whole bunch of people into a grand piano.
They don't believe I can start a fight and finish one.
"You're so nice!"

They like to think that I'm caring and good and nice and sweet.
I may be caring,
But only to those I care for.
And I can just as easilly kick you out of my circle as I brought you into it.
You little nine year olds.
Just remember.

I recently was listening to the Into the Woods Soundtrack and came acroos this line:
Nice is Different than Good. 
I understand this.
You can say that I'm nice all you want,
But that doesn't mean I'm good.

And even then,
Everything has its loopholes.

    One you could listen to when we're apart.

    Promise, Someday

    Someday.
    Someday we will hug and kiss like its no big deal,
    Wrap our arms around each other and walk down the street.
    Someday I’ll have a special name, that only you call me,
    Something that makes me smile,

    Always something

    It's always got to be something.
    That one thing that takes the wind out from under your wings making you tremble,
    and fall.
    And it's always the something you generally expect,
    But hoped wouldn't happen.
