Too Kind

You’re too kind and trusting
You give away too much for nothing I’ve got to hand it to your mom and dad
But it leaves you with nothing
Out in the open
And brings you almost no returns
Bathed and changed and coddled and towelled Warm and soft not made to be
challenged
The world is broken mirrors
Traps and triggers
And cold blood pools in the kindest eyes
But a mercy killing
Oh that’s another thing
Compassionate and loving
And blood like that is spilled every day
Lost and found and claimed by a stranger
Swaddled and sheltered and kept from danger
But your victories have been hard won
Something to rly on
When fear is the only card you hav
Life will pass in the blink of an eye
Born and raised and left to die
