For The School Year, For The Teachers, For My Friends

This is written for the school year,
for the teachers,
for my friends,
to the things you've taught me,
for each and every day
I learn something new,
and while there is all the regular stuff
like reading
writing 
and math
you taught me some other things
like how to love someone I've known for one year,
to have my classmates be like family
and how I really shouldn't eat chips for breakfast.
You've taught me the meaning of 'outside'
the meaning of music
and not being afraid
to blast your favorite song across the neighborhood.
You've taught me how to bond with friends
more than I ever have.
You've taught me that six feet
isn't really a barrier that makes us be apart,
it's more like an obstacle
that we will get past eventually.
So this is written for the school year,
for the teachers,
for my friends.
Thanks for teaching me.
