She tries to walk
        with grace in every step
She tries to talk
        with kindness in every word
She tries to move
        with gentle and care
She tries to love
        with every ounce she can pour
She tries. . .
        Oh, how she tries.

She tries to walk
        tucking her knees to keep them from buckling
She tries to talk
        without spewing out parts of her broken heart
She tries to move
        freely while holding back the storm inside her
She tries to love
        even when she couldn't have it back the same weight
She tries. . .
        Oh, she tries.
        
Even with a storm
brewing in her heart
Leaving her thoughts into chaos
As her melting soul
Flows out her eyes

She wipes off her tears
She tries. . .
