To reach the unreachable stars

She sighs and holds the idea up, turning it back and forth in her minds eye. It catches the light of hope and glints attractively but she knows it is a false jewel of glass, and she lays it by. There are so many of them heaped about her, stifling her it feels. The weight of a thousand worthless dreams, all so beautiful, and so seemingly unattainable. She sifts through them endlessly, searching for the precious gem that will carry her forward, never realizing that every single one of them could be a diamond if only she'd let it.
