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
