What Have You Taught Me?

My friends, my family.
Some  of the most 
important people in 
my life.
You all know who 
you are.
Some taught me how to 
stand up for  myself, how
to have fun.
Some taught me how to
love, you I will never forget.
Some taught me how to 
hurt, how to cry, how to 
laugh.
Some taught me how to be
me.
Some taught me how to hate,
you I don't miss.
Some taught me how it's okay
to mess up.
No one is perfect, everyone 
makes mistakes.
So to all the people in my
life, past, present, and future.
Thank you, thank you for just 
being part of my life.
