boy.
A boy that I’m seriously, deeply, madly, incredibly,
and undeniably in love with.
I got so schooled this year.
By a nine-year-old.
He taught me that it’s okay to live life
a little backward.
And how to laugh
At what you would think
is unlaughable.
I got schooled this year
By a band!
They taught me how to nd that feeling of feeling
again.
They taught me how to decide what to be
And go be it.
I got schooled this year.
By a cancer patient.
She taught me so much. She’s still teaching me so

She taught me to push my boundaries,
Because that’s what they’re there for.
She told me to nd a balance between head and heart
And then
she taught me how. . . I got schooled this year
By a foster kid.
She taught me to respect the hand that I was dealt.
And to be grateful I was even dealt a hand.
She taught me that family
Doesn’t have to be blood.

I got schooled this year
By my teacher
He taught me
That the points are not the point,
The point is poetry. . . I got schooled this year
By my father.
He taught me that heroes aren’t always invincible
And that the magic
is within me.
I got schooled this year
