Why I Write

I write to remember the past and all the secrets it holds To remember my first day of school To remember the first poem I memorized To remember my first crush To remember my first severe injury To remember when I first switched schools To remember walking home everyday To remember my parents’ divorce To remember traveling to Europe To remember being bullied To remember starting high school To remember the great friends I made To remember the first kiss I had on stage I write to remember all the great adventures I’ve had I write to keep those memories alive and immortalized
