Poetry

I have a unique connection to the music I listen to. My main genre is indie rock, but if the words speak to me, I don't discriminate against other genres. Just the other day I fell in love with a song on the radio just to come home to discover OneDirection sang it. I have no comment. Verbal communication is not my forte when it come to how I feel or even what is on my mind. I'm not eloquent in the slightest. I stutter, I get tongue tied, and sometimes I just give up. This probably explains why I prefer ASL. However, I can write my entire soul down on a piece of paper for you. I basically am writing my whole soul online.

But music...music never fails me. It never has. Most of my tweets are song lyrics these days. It's my way of strategically complaining while attempting not to annoy anybody. Even though I am not vocally gifted enough to sing these songs, I feel every word sung and dance to them.

I have an English teacher who is pure intellect and spunk if you can imagine the two traits together in one human being. She eased us into poetry by having us analyze song lyrics. Music achieved a brand new level of meaning and purpose. MUSIC WAS POETRY! Music is poetry. Whether it is upbeat and makes your heart pump to beat of the music or it is slow and makes you sway, all poetry has purpose.
