Carson’s Poetry: Thank You
Thank you to my teachers
and the friends I made at school
Thanks to the “band geeks”
and the kids considered “cool”
Thanks for teaching me
what the real world will be like
And showing me how to cope
when anxiety starts to spike
Thanks to all the friends I lost
You showed me it’s okay
To mourn a broken friendship
at the end of the day
Thanks to Mr. D and Gehrlein
For giving me a boost
And showing where my passion lies
And which future I want to choose.
Thank you to Oak Park,
my high school family
Thanks for making me stronger
and a best I could be.
