tiny pieces.

i am afraid of snakes.

i laugh at horror movies.

i have a bright red bike, which i like to think makes me faster.

i don't like peas, or things that are purple.

i like watching people from a distance where i can't hear them,
and then i make up stories about what they're saying.

i can't slice onions without crying.

i'm not bothered by dirt under my nails.

i bite my lips when i'm nervous.

i write because i sometimes lose my voice.

i hate wearing a jacket, and i despise grocery shopping.

i kick a rock down the sidewalk, a little further each time,
because it makes me feel like every step counts.


maybe every tiny step does count.
