Some thoughts are expressed by music and art,
no matter how but through the heart.
We showcase feelings we develop every day
whether we’re feeling happy, bored, or even grey!

We evoke our emotions through a brush,
we confess why we slightly blush.
We draw when we feel as gold as light,
we sing how we’re feeling as dark as night.

As we create art we relieve our stress.
Our thoughts begin to flow, acting as a dress.
Singing and drawing greatly affects our mind,
giving it the time and freedom to truly unwind.

Writing endlessly with a pencil,
pushes our creativity to our full potential.
Singing proudly into a microphone,
fully sets the rhythm and tone.
