Anna Marie - NOLA Influence

The music in your heart.
That’s when you know.
It’s the people around you,
Not just where you go.

Artists get inspired by
Something that catches their eye.
In New Orleans, we are inspired,
By the people passing by.

Inspired by their clothes,
Their hair,
Their smile.
Anything ranging
From their kind stares
To their style.

Inspiration.
Where will it take you?
What will it drive you to do?

Anna Marie, age 17
