Dark Heart

She’s trying, yes, she’s trying,
to feel the good within her heart,
but every time she gets so close,
she ends up right 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.
