She had tried and she had failed. Alanna had put in everything she had, and she had lost. Now she sat alone, wishing to vanish so no one would be able to see her, to see her failure. She could feel her heart shrinking, her eyes dry, no more tears to cry. There was a black hole inside her mind and it had already feed on all her positive thoughts. The black hole made her think that she should never dare again, because failure was the only outcome she would get.
When she went outside, on the street, she could see her failure in the eyes of strangers, disappointment in the eyes of her friends and family. Her failure described her, and there was nothing she could do about it. The words of support fell into the bottomless pit her mind had become, she only heard critiques, because there was no way anyone would praise her. She had fallen, and she would not rise.
