"The pills aren't necessary." The tone of this line is perfect.

"I'm left wanting more." I like this line. The speaker is told to 'eat and sleep and breathe,' and yet, she's left wanting more than just an existence; she wants a purpose.

"Should I wake up in the same tomb as yesterday and tomorrow?" Excellent ending. Nice use of the word 'tomb' here. :)

I liked how you began with sunlight, and then gradually worked your way back to it. The idea of the sun coming through the window, 'kissing you' was very strong in my mind. I also think that the 'she' that you discuss in the latter half could also be a metaphor for the sun itself, or vice versa. You could weave it together several ways.

I think your conclusion was very strong as well - the idea of the tomb... I also got the since that the narrator was in an airplane. I think when you mentioned terbulence my mind automatically jumped there, and a plane is very much like a tomb if you think about it. Nice job.

Much love,
Juliet.
