She failed to hang onto that tiny remnant of herself

She hung on by her finger nails but it was all in vain

Her soul was never vibrant but it was still alive… only just

Now it’s shrivel and cold

Her ambitions faded in all their glory

The more she held on to them … the more they slipped farther away from her

She got weary of waking up every morning to see nothing had changed

She crossed her fingers for luck… she crossed them tight

She was falling behind

It hurt for her to breathe… the air was too thick

She was suffocating

She wanted more… she wanted everything… she wanted it all

She was fading into nothing

She never realised that she was not fading not even slightly

It was the light than shone upon her

That gigantic spark of hope and possibility
