habits i’ve formed since being a teenager: a poem (in list form)

By Shannon Peil

– brushing my teeth every day
– humming along to classic rock i used to hate
– sometimes claiming i won’t buy a pack of smokes today
– calling missing a party ‘catching up on sleep’ rather than ‘being a loser’
– eating a damn salad once in a while
– stopped claiming i have aspbergers all the time
– respectfully turning my music down at intersections
– wearing pants that fit
– social anxiety
