Dried lips. Grumbling stomach. Headaches. Just emptiness.

There was an insurmountable desire for her to just stop. To stop gazing at the stars. She had hoped that they would take her woes away.

Although problems don't just miraculously vanish. Her woes planted their roots deep into her heart and to rid them means removing weeds that surround her emotions.

She knew that she had to make a decision yet she lay on the soft plush grass, hoping someone else would solve it for her. After all, she just wanted to exist in a place that wasn't exactly earthly but not deadly either. She yearned for freedom from her mind. The most gruesome about the past year was her inability to detach her mind from her reality. Her thoughts grew like vines into her life.

However, in this particular moment, she just wanted to vanish. Cloud 9 is a possibility if only she knew how to reach it.

The crickets chirped and the wind blew gracefully until her senses diminished. She couldn't help but feel empty. Loneliness left her hurt. Hurt lasts forever if not attended to. Her mind was spiraling. She needed a solution.

If only time were on her side. Perhaps in another life the odds would have been in her favour. If only stagnation could bring her comfort. A frozen world could give her a chance to develop. Yet; she remains as she is. Nothing more, nothing less.
