Directing Change

What Music Can Do

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

My entry is a poem that explains my mental state before and after music and the positive impact it can have on someones life. During the start of my poem, I wrote about not being in the best state of mind mentally and losing hope trying to seek out a coping mechanism. Then by the end of the poem, I discover my love for music and seem to be in a much better place. My entry relates to the contest submission criteria because music has always been my anchor, the thing that I can rely on.
