She got out of her bed and looked out of her apartment, it was her dream to own one.
Small-town dream of big city life...she had come a long way.
What seemed like ultimate achievement she had accomplished, the thrill was there no more.
She could not erase the compromises she'd done to reach this place.
She had sold her soul infact to climb the ladder of success, and yet, when she was at the top, it wasn't as appealing anymore.
Today would be the last she'd have this familiar view; and then, she'll slip into the waters forever....
How very sad. All for nothing.
ReplyDeleteRise and fall, it seems she took a step too far. . A touching tale indeed.
ReplyDeletei wish for a happy ending. what a sad story.
ReplyDeleteMay she resurface somewhere else again with her soul intact.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping she could just go back to the country and live a simple life - but.... into the waters it was! Good story
ReplyDeleteGaining the world and losing her soul
ReplyDeleteIt's harder, but you can go home though it's never the same. I could wish she'd chosen that instead.
ReplyDeleteA hard life lesson but one it seems she's taken to heart. Now to reclaiming her soul.
ReplyDeleteA sad piece. She fought si hard and all for nothing in the end. Winning the world but losing everything that makes it worth living.

How sad! And yet we have all experienced the letdown that often follows the one big achievement we thought would make it all alright.
