Freewrite to “Express Yourself”

Expression can be defined through different types of outlets. Everyone has their own motivation and inspiration to show their creative process. For some, music plays a large role to their expression- drawing from the voices of other brave and courageous artists. This article conveyed a powerful message within the influence of music for children today. To the teenagers and kids that may deal with peer pressure such as drugs or gang related problems, music can be their remedy and solution to their problems. It can be their voice, their hope and their dreams. Listening to the thoughts and powerful lyrics of famous artists compel others to write their own songs. I even admit to turning to music for healing when I am stressed or dealing with conflicts. When I hear their stories, I feel inspired to share my life experiences in creative lyrics and poems. We all search for our motivation to express our real voices. Ranging from music, to literature and even fashion; people look to their passions for a push towards finding their own creative expression. Our own interpretations of art forms enable us to expand our minds and grow from what we see. There is no right answer when it comes to expressing oneself; we all have our unique abilities to show what we can do.
