Music and writing.
My favorite song would be becoming insane by infected mushroom, every time I hear it I start writing my poems, sometimes i'll lose track of time and twelve or thirteen poems are made with the song on repeat, I love the song because it inspires me to write. I wanted to do music professionally because it drives me, when I write songs or poems I imagine the beat that would be played, the way it would be sang, and the way it feels. The way music makes me feel is almost different from others, its like an entirely different person, smarter, imaginative, outgoing and like nothing can stop me. Its so empowering, if it weren't for music I probably would have lost it and gave up on life. I admire the music of Corey Taylor because he speaks to all of the emotions most people fail to embrace as if we all have this fight of light and dark in our heads just screaming out with each lyric he spits, its simply perfect. One event when I connect to music is when I am alone and ready to write poems, the words just flow through my head with the song as I write. Music has the power to heal, it helps with pain, it gives hope whether it be hard or soft, I know because when my little sister Sara died, we played the song "Sarah's smile" at her funeral, it was hard but for the first time in forever I cried, music makes me feel healthy emotions when it matches the moment, to most it helps with the process like my mother used to play the song over and over until she got over it. Music is poetry, because its an expression of emotions put into words with some instruments to make the beat. Point is, music is my life and always will be.

I love that certain music inspires your writing and poetry. I'm sorry about the loss of your sister. I'm sure that was hard for you and your family to come back from.
