Stars

Time stopped.

She didn't know why but it did. After a day full of learning and trying to get things done-time had finally stopped. The stress of the day replaced with stress of the coming days. Scenarios of how tomorrow will turn out played in her head alongside the millions of day dreams. Emotions raced through her heart but all she felt was tired and heavy.

She didn't understand the heavy weight placed on her. Sure school started and it was stressful as all hell, but the weight was much heavier then that stress. It was as though god had gotten all of the planets and placed them upon her shoulders. Stopping her from reaching the stars. Yet the stars shone so beautifully, she admired them. She always wanted to be a star. Sit in the universe and just be there.

But she couldn't be a star. Instead she was nothing but a human. A human full of confusing emotions and stupid thoughts. Each thought that passed-whether in her dreams or in her head-the weight got heavier.

Was she going to collapse soon? No, she refused to let the weight of everything god threw at her make her give up. She was gonna go till the end. The stars motivated her. They kept her going in this thing called life.

A series of must do's and "you can't do or act like that". Politicians, money, average, lifestyle. These words floated around her head. Of course she knew what they all meant but the true understanding of them was something she'd never be able to grasp.

If you thought about it deeper, there is no such thing as time and rules. Both made up. Everything is made up. That's why a simple girl such as herself could never understand. It's because there isn't anything to understand in the first place. Just theories and ideas that are labeled facts and so they are believed by the majority. The minority that don't believe them get called harsh words.

Life was most definitely hard. But still she kept going. Although what she soon finds out is that those stars she loved aren't much different to her. They too have multiple planets stacking up. They admire the stars that they call friends. They feel that unknown heavy weight too.

No matter how heavy the weight is though, they let her lean a bit of hers on theirs. She lets them lean theirs on her's. It was a team effort for all of them to make it beyond the stars. When one got tired the others would hold them up. No matter how often it was.

She loved this. She loved the friends that she still saw as stars, a little bruised, but still beautifully brightly shining stars.

Time started.

The clock on her watch ticked. It was getting late but she didn't mind.

After all, it was in these hours that she could speak with the stars.
