Thing

Do you have a thing?

I have a lot;

I have thing thingies;

Or “things” for short;

Like;

I have a thing about listening to music with my headphones;

I like to be able to listen to everything clearly;

All the instruments;

How they weave together effortlessly;

How the vocals bring the words to life;

How the most littlest part can be so powerful;

How you might miss it if you listen to it just like that;

I also have a thing about trying new things;

It terrifies me;

It’s outside my comfort zone;

It doesn’t make me feel at ease;

So I don’t like trying new things;

I would;

If you’re persuasive enough;

Or if I trust you enough to know that –

That it’s gonna be alright afterwards;

I have a thing about authority;

I don’t handle an authority figure well;

I rebel too much;

Must’ve been too obedient when I was younger to –

To turn out like this;

Always yes;

Not enough no;

So now I’m saying no most of the time;

Even if I didn’t;

I’d wish I did;

So that I don’t have to do whatever;

I have a thing about looking out the window;

Especially when it rains;

To see the chaos it’s causing;

To see the rain drops roll down the glass;

Quite calming actually;

The steady rhythm of the rain beating against the surface;

And the cold that comes with it;

I have many things;

What about you?
