Music

Music

Hi, everyone. I would like to tell you what music is to me.

When I was a kid, I started taking lessons to learn how to play the clarinet. I would like to thank my family for putting up with the horrible noises that came out of that instrument when I first started. I learned how to play classical symphony, and I loved the feeling that band caused in my body. I mean, physically and emotionally. Both. I got goosebumps and became tingly and could feel the sounds moving through me.

My mom listed to mo town, and my oldest listened to the Eagles and what is now called classic rock. My brother, Richard, listened to pop—Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson. I love it all. Everyone of these different types of music touched me in some way. I had friends who listened to country and rap, and both were pretty cool. Now I listen to metal, punk rock, alternative, and hard rock. And I am still gently moved by music. It can make me cry, laugh, get angry, and fills me with so much energy I throw up the horns and bang my head like a madman.

Music is one of the most influential things in my life. I applaud all the artists out there. You are affecting the lives of everyone who hears you. Make it count.

Peace :)

Here is a couple of my original poems. I hope you enjoy them.

Lost
It is so dark
the blackness comes.
This pain and sorrow
suffering untold.
With love and joy
my days were bright.
This unforeseen event
has crippled my soul.
A grim apparition
web of death spun,
Has stolen your life
and eclipsed my sun.
With covered eyes.

Imagine
A system in confidence,
concrete and steel entraps me.
Razor wire entwines.
They can't conceive,
my escape ensured,
within my very soul.
My mind frees me,
thoughts abound
paving the way for tomorrow.
