The Rhythm of My Heartbeat

What is music to me?

            By: Dominique Dalton

Music is so important to me because without it, I feel like I wouldn't be able to get through life.

Music has the power to make you feel happy, it can be motivational, it can make you dance, it has the power to help you when your down, it can make you cry, you can relate to it in some way, and music can do other things for you.

Music has a different meaning for everybody, but music has the power to change your life.  

There are so many genres of music and million of artists out there who are already discovered and/or waiting to be discovered and through music it gives them the outlet to be heard but different populations.

Music can be complicated and expressive because it can tell a story.

Also Music can be pointless and not say anything, but can have such a great feeling to it that it raises your mood.

Music is a form of poetry.

Music can be a positive and negative influence to people because through music you can obtain knowledge about events that are happening among your society and it can be negative because it can introduce drugs and violence.

Music can be addictive.

Music can cause a person to act out violently or out of character.

But Music can also speak to a person struggles.

Music can help a person concentrate when they are doing work.

Music has the power to bring nations and people together through concerts and different venues.

Music drives people to success.

In fact Music is what I was listening to when I was writing this poem.

Music brings out the creativity in people.

But Music can bring out the pain in people. 

Music can be a factor in your religion.

Music can bring the best out of people and the worse.

Music is a form of art to some people and is praised and critiqued among other art forms.

Music can cure depression. 

Music is what drove me to start this particular blog post.

Music is universal.

Music can touch people spiritually through a church and a choir.

Music is what brings people together on holidays and social gatherings such as Christmas, Birthdays, Barbecues, Family Reunions, etc. 

Music is created by extraordinary/gifted people but anybody can make music with a few beats and words.

Music can be a form of communication. 

Rock and Roll,

Hip Hop,

R&B,

Jazz,

Pop,

Country,

Reggae,

and Electronic Dance Music, are just a few types of Music that we listen to.

Music most of all to me is life. It is the beat to my heart and without it I wouldn't be here right now.

Music Is Life and Nobody's Perfect Not Even Music Itself.
