Those who have the courage to stay true to themselves and be what they know they were born to be! Which Jim Morrison are you?
You are the Young Lion. The poet and ingenue. Dionysus in the flesh. You are intellectually and physically vigorous. The only thing surpassing your creativity is your sex appeal. But sometimes your head is in the clouds and you may be accused of pretentiousness. People are drawn to your beauty, confidence and romantic idealism. You should be carved in stone.

You Are Expressionism
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty... you certainly know how to express your emotions.
At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.
This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!
You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse. What Art Movement Are You?
