Reading Between the Lines. Let My Words Cry.

Her Lovely Fate (An Original)
A girl bound to hopes and dreams
stared out across the endless sea.
Salty mist and gloomy clouds
and bitter tears are what called her out.
A grainy blanket warmed her feet,
the only comfort she received.
Eyes to waves, the connection was made.
A bond, a cord of the strongest emotion.
Her heart beat with the crash of the waves
and she tossed it out to satisfy her crave.
And forever it remains.

They called out to her, the other ones,
so she kissed her love good-bye.
But while away, she cried and cried,
“My heart is gone! I will surely die!”
She fled from that place and journeyed in haste.

Her love awaited, forever stalemated
between rocks and sand and grassy land.
The wooden pier splintered her feet,
her heart now at a faster beat.
The storm raged like an animal caged
as she cried out, “My love, I'm back! My heart, I'm back!”
The ocean spray, salty and light,
never brought her so much delight.
The others arrived in worry, spotted her and ran in a hurry.
Their cries, their yells, and shouts of fear
could not pass the ocean to her ears.
She closed her eyes, arms spread to fly,
and leaped from the balcony's wooden side.

The icy waters hugged her lungs,
welcoming her from her loving plunge.
The salty waves held her in a tie,
and she fervently hoped there to die.
In a lover's embrace, forever encased,
her body floats there
and forever remains.

My Chorus Midterm Paper: The Importance of Music Education

Okay, so I started out writing this paper, and as you can see, I became bored with it.

People tend to forget, or are ignorant of, the importance of music education. Music is a significant part of the world we live in, and to keep it alive, schools administer music programs to inspire an interest in music and learning among children of all ages. Music education is important because it covers almost all subjects in a standard curriculum: history, math, English, and foreign language. It also gives students a chance to express themselves and to learn at the same time. Without music education, THERE WOULD BE NO MUSIC.

DUH DUH DUMMMMMMM

*Mystical fade to the future. One without music education*

Little Joey is found outside a concrete building with a cardboard box that looks some what like a guitar- OH WAIT THATS RIGHT. This is a future with no music education, therefore what the crap is a guitar?!

See without music education, I can't even tell a story about the lack of music education because it doesn't exist.

And when I can't tell a story, well, that makes for an unhappy Gwen. Let's keep me happy.

*Spazzy jazzy fade to me at my computer typing*

So basically, without music education there would be cavemen beating on rocks saying “Ugg ugg, this sounds pretty nice...”

Without music education, Beethoven would be considered a crazy old goon who made too much noise- not the musical genius he was, because what was music? Noise. Buzzzz.....

Without music education, I'd probably be taking art!!!!! And I can't draw if Bruno's life depended on it!!

I'd probably fail art....and I'd probably stay back in summer school. And I'd be so depressed that I would just decide to drop the whole education thing all together, and then you'd find me on the street playing a violin for mone- OH THAT'S RIGHT. I wouldn't even be able to beg for money!! So I would just die from loneliness and starvation along with the rest of us who suck at art and would have preferred to take music class instead.

In conclusion, music education saves lives and keeps us from resorting to cavemen-like behaviors.

Love,
Gwen <3


Peace out! Be cool, stay in school, and don't forget how important music education is!
