She's trying
yes, she's trying
to feel the good
within her heart
but every time
she gets so close
she ends up
back at the start.

She can feel
the darkness spreading
a pernicious fog
throughout her core
until it becomes
so suffocating
she doesn't want to keep
trying anymore.

But she's trying
yes, she's trying
to find the good
within herself
as she knows deep down
it's in there
she just needs to find
her own self-worth.
