There are times she feels okay
Like not a thing is going wrong
But this feeling doesn't last or stay
At least, not for very long
There are times she feels so great
Like she's on top of the world
But there's a crumb left on her plate
That quickly will unfurl
She tries so hard to see the good
That surrounds her every day
But she doesn't feel it as she should
And her happiness always fades
Still, she'll keep on living
She's trying so hard to hold her smile
In a world that's unforgiving
Even if it only lasts a while
