The Music Does the Talking
I am someone who has a lot to say……….except when I need to say something that is deep seeded. For instance, I was at my brothers wedding last weekend, and I don’t believe that I told him that I loved him while I was there………good going, Amy.
So instead, I have decided to write a composition for him. My music seems to express the emotions that…..in person…. I cannot. It keeps me from having uncomfortable moments that while forced end up sounding more like, “It puts the lotion on it’s skin.” I have found that while writing a composition–I find relief. Relief from the well kept pain and anxiety that I bury. I would have to think that there are many people who are an awful lot like myself in this—especially all of us who have gone through painful trauma in youth.
If you are like me…..one piece of advice……don’t force yourself to use words for expression all of the time. Sometimes verbalization through words is simply to much to ask…….allow yourself to use other avenues for expression…….let your music do the talking.
