Hanging on to the last threads of sanity.
Drifting through the air, blown this way and that.
As winds calm, falling softly on hard packed ground.
Lying there vulnerable, no longer attached to any life sustaining force.
Growing ever more brittle, an easy target for passers by.
The slightest bit of pressure disintegrates every bit into tiny pieces.
A gust of wind lifts the pieces, scattered and separated over many miles.
Separate yet the same, pieces of a whole.
Each one found far from where it began.
Growing ever more brittle, isolated, alone.
Each piece slowly dissolves into nothing, never again the same.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
