My reason

Location

The art of writing should not be a question of why or why not, but of how.

But to answer the question, that is a very simple question with a lot of answers.

I write to dispel the dark storms that society has cursed me with.

To combat my internal demons as they rage war with my conscious.

To give a voice to an otherwise silent and shy vessel who speaks with a lisp

To paint a picture that society labeled as bad in our subconscious

To show the dumb that a voice or hand signs are not the only way to convey a message.

To ignite a light to all those who have lost sight and give them a path to follow

To inspire those who are reading and convert the wretched

And to fill a void to those souls that remain hollow

Above all, I write my story as well as the stories of others just in case that our memories are

Deleted from the books of history and casted into the abyss of the forgotten

So that if anyone is curious about the truth of the past

My writing can be at least a starting step in uncovering it.

As for the latter question

I write as if I will lose my memory in the next day or two

And there will be no one to tell me about the person that I once was

My writing will be a story to myself, in hopes of restoring my memory.

Or at least a cool story to past the time just in case I am never ever to recover

To those that have gotten this far in the reading, I would like to thank you

For I also write for you too.

There are many other reasons why I write the way I do

But as for now, I bid you adieu The art of writing should not be a question of why or why not, but of how.

As for the latter question

I write as if I will lose my memory in the next day or two so I would learn a lesson

If there will be no one to tell me about the person that I once was

My writings will provide with me clues to clear up all the gussing.

To those that have gotten this far in the reading, I would like to thank you

For I also write for you too.

Even though all of the lines did not rythm, there is not reason to do

But as for now, I bid you adieu
