Social butterfly
Gossip under its wings
Not one soul seems to know me
in this gossip-indulging society,
obsessed about worshiping the latest stories
about those hardly knowing
while true identifies of the ones we care for
remain hidden like dreams and fantasies,
those we could never dare to speak,
under the double-layered mask
we hide our bleeding raw skin beneath.

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.”
