Bit by bit

The foggy dusk envelopes, all that the eyes could see. A fiery orange sky gives way to darkness. The Earth revolves, unnoticed.

Bit by bit.

Time goes by, change sets in. 
Unnoticed, at first. Painful.

Bit by bit.

The world, the people go on. Indecisive, frustrated, aimless, lost, dazed. They meet their dwellings, temporarily - to get lost in the maze again, in the crowd. To lose themselves, make themselves into automatons.

Bit by bit.

We are alienated - from our emotions, their expression. Forced to become something we are not. We shield ourselves, take cover of indifference.

Bit by bit.

Ways meet, ways diverge. Distances grow. Bonds die a silent death. Feelings leave,

Bit by bit.

Everyday, the world reveals itself. The picture becomes bigger. Reality becomes harsher, empathy rarer. My heart corrodes, my soul is scraped. My hope begins to give up

Everyday,

Bit by bit.
