I don't have a thing

Everybody has a thing

Something they're good at

And something they love

It's their thing

Sometimes its sports

Or arts

Or humor

Sometimes it's just being

Loved

I don't have a thing

I have things I'm ok at

And things that I love

But I don't have both

I don't have a thing

I'm not cool

Or pretty

Or athletic

Or artistic

Or smart

I'm not good at anything

I can play some piano

And read

I can write

And fence

But not well

I love to snowboard

And get lost in stories

I love to listen to music

And to hang out with friends

But I don't have a thing

I'm just average

Bland

Boring

Tolerable

But not enjoyable

I don't have a thing

    I didn't stand at the top of the mountain

    As the wind whipped my hair

    And decided I loved to snowboard

    It wasn't the moment when
