Why I write?

As the world falls around me, I stop and ask myself why I write? I write to sort my thoughts out, when there are a million things running through my head I don't know which one to think about. So i write. I write to let the tears fall. I write because I know she isn't coming back. I write of the beautiful kingdom she calls home. I write hoping somehow someone who I love will read what I write. I write to my sister. As if the paper is her arms wide open and judge-free. I write to forget about the world I'm living in today and write to remember it then. I write to remember.

    This was so powerful. I seriously started tearing up. Writing seems to mean a whole lot to you. I definitely look forward to reading what you write.

    So what i wanted to also say is that my favorite line is when you compare the blank paper to Cass's arms. It's such a strong simile. Beautifully done.
