Bit by Bit
Rarely dramatic
It is bit by bit
You lose yourself
Not in some grand fashion
But bit by bit
A bit of confidence there
A bit of strength here
A bit of hope there
A bit of hurt here
Some hurtful words there
Some unshed tears here
It seems negligible
Too little to matter
Like a glacier melting
Piece by piece
Losing itself
Never sudden
Rarely dramatic
You also find yourself
Not in some grand fashion
But bit by bit
A conversation here
A quote there
A good book here
A lingering comment there
Like the ocean
Drop by drop
Finding itself
Never sudden
Rarely dramatic
Bit by bit
Piece by piece
Drop by drop
