I have tried. And I'll try harder in everything. That is my promise and you are the witnesses. If I fail, go tell them, The fancy tale about my fight, How I dived in and breathe underwater, How I recovered from anguish underneath my skin, And shriek the rage from my thorns, If only I fail. I am trying harder in everything, Shutting down my dark thoughts inside my head, Pacing back and forth finding an escape, Running with my worn-out dress reaching for the light, I can hear my voices louder than ever, Fighting with my bewildered eyes, Let alone the snakes lingering around my wrist, Because I know the snakes are nowhere near to break my spirit.
