Why do we turn to music when we experience different emotions? We turn to music when we celebrate. We turn to music when we want to relax and unwind after a long day. Music will also get you in the mood when you’re trying to seduce someone (or have sex). It also helps you get through a breakup with a significant other, but then again it can help you get back together, too.
Music has a powerful way guiding our emotions to either pump us up or mellow you out. It can also be used to inspire and instill hope. Music can also been used as a special language to communicate when you can’t find the right words to fully express your feelings. Music has always been a way for me to express myself whenever I’m feeling blessed, joyful, or when I’ve been hurt, or broken-hearted, music always has a certain way of bringing out emotions that I don’t think can be expressed any other way.
I am an artist; I’ve been writing poetry since I was thirteen or fourteen years old. The musical spirit didn’t hit me until around twenty. My mother put music in me when I was around five or six years old. I wasn’t that interested as a child, but as I grew older, I began to understand its power. Or shall I say, I began to understand the way it made me feel and I no longer felt ignored or misunderstood. Music understood me, music knew how I felt when I’ve felt so alone. So many times, music was the only thing that comforted me (aside from a big, strong man, that is).
Whenever people stood looking clueless at me, music has always known what was really going on inside of me. It always understands whenever I feel the urge to express myself through that particular medium. Heartbreak always inspires me to create a song. It is said that when you are hurting, you can come with some really good s%*t! It’s when your emotions are at their rawest that you express your true feelings from the heart. I don’t really express my true feelings that much anymore mainly because I haven’t been in a relationship in a while with anybody, not because I don’t want to be but because I feel so terribly misunderstood by so many people who know about me but they don’t really know me at all.
