Script Progress-Hide and Seek

So I'm trying to clean up my script and make it more cohesive and not all over the place but I want to keep the tone I had originally with the highs and lows emphasized. I'm trying to capture personal struggle, emotional struggle. I think I shot myself in the foot when choosing this song. It's much harder then I thought it would be. And my ideas for stage prop are not working out. I want the performer to convey some form of struggle but all the ideas I've come up with are not plausible. 

I dunno I'm stressed to say the least right now. :(
