I will never put my trust inside
A broken piggy bank
That hole in your belly is where
You let resentment
Eat its way out

A helpless victim
With all the power in the world

Humans pay for happiness
Trading in trust and love
Empathy and forgiveness
Kind words and encouragement

You've lost your way
Looking for solace in judgement
Who led you to try to hurt me
When I've only ever known how to love you

But I'm no piñata
And I can cut myself down
Tired of feeling on display
Isolated in this foreign tree

Nothing left to do but leave
Your designated scape goat
Chased away with the light of harsh flames
Honesty is witchcraft to you

You gave your own magic away
When you stopped believing in yourself

A beautiful girl
Always looking to please
But what's outside doesn't mean a thing

You and I were one
We grew together
By pushing me
You've only been ripping your own seems

I cut myself free, remember?
While the wound is still fresh
I will go on and bond again
Friends, Family, new loving open strangers
This time, trust, love, and support
Will be deposited

While not a bad investment
This market had a crash
Instead of picking up the pieces together
You handed me the broom
I pray you find your happiness soon

Love yourself enough to know
To look inside of you
