Five

There is this girl. Lost. Too lost for her own good. She started adulthood with a foolproof plan to get it right. She observed those around her and knew better than to repeat their mistakes. She had an insight into the way things should be done. She had a maturity she did not understand. But inevitably the world tricked her out of her foolproof plan. Experiences and desperation led her astray and she lost her way. Now she is lost and afraid. The life she so desperately wanted to lead is long gone. And she is trapped in a merciless forest filled with the harsh realities of mistakes made in youthful curiosity. Her soul feels like a graveyard of broken dreams and all she can do is draw her knees up to her chest at night and grieve for her foolproof plan.
