Good Fights Evil

Good fights Evil, so Evil increases her onslaught.
But Good is not giving up, more sure than ever.
Evil revs things up, throwing in cousins of power.
They laugh and banter, attempting to intimidate Good.

Good holds on, feeling more confident than ever.
She is going to win this battle, for she sees Evil’s frustrations.
Evil is tipping his hand, increasing his show with memories. 
Attempting to frighten Good, however, Optimism joins her. 

Good and Optimism encourage Joy and Happy to help.
Evil finally gives up, for the wholesomeness of the four is too strong.
The young maiden wakes up and throws her sleeping pills out.
No longer interested in taking her own life.
