Bit By Bit

only fifteen years old and i'm dying from the inside.
Not knowing what to do, or where to continue.
feeling deprived from my own life,
feeling the worries tingling in my body.
haven't slept for days, haven't had a good meal,
haven't had any giggles since last month.

I'm too weak, bit by bit my strength
dies out...
Bit by bit i see myself in a casket.
mother and father wouldn't even take 
a second to ask me how I'm doing,
Instead they'll just ignore and walk away.

I have no one, NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just myself xena.
I have no reflection, no hope, no future
just a horrible thing called lonliness.

Poignant write Xena! It reflects the reality many youth face in this fast paced world. The insecurities of youth, plagued with loneliness can be very hard to take. You've developed the theme very nicely. Very well penned!
