A Glimpse Into My Brain

Details

Focus on the little things
Focus on the small details
Nit pick peoples behaviours
To find any sign of what they're feeling
Fins their emotions and act accordingly

I pick apart the little things
A single hair out of line
A footstep stepped to heavily
A small limp in a cats posture
The little signs people give when they're planning a surprise
The little things people do when they're trying to pretend that their pain is a minimum
A single sparkle on my face
Even though I haven't touched glitter in years

I like the little details
The brush strokes a painter makes
The way you can tell a markers size by how it indents the paper
The little details in someones footprint
The dash of dark blue amidst a black sky
A small whisper amongst a loud crowd

The details of the people I love
The little things that make up people
The way people try and hide a smile
The small tells that show they're trying to hide a smile

The small parts of my friends
That others would label as insignificant
But are more than important to me

I like looking at the big picture
The entire landscape
The way the small parts of my friends push and pull and grab at each other
To create the person I love
The entire forest and all the trees in it

I will focus on details
And pick apart everyday behaviours
To make sure I get them right
Making sure I'm not mistaken at what they are feeling
To make sure I'm safe
To make sure the people I love are safe

I usually focus on little details
But sometimes the big picture is nice to see
