The Cure

The Cure

A Poem by Joey Martinez

Do I chase my dream and go for it all?
Should I drop everything around me and take the leap?
My eyes are open and a life in poetry is what I seek
I didn't say career because writing is not a job
Its a gift that many of us chose to open
Poetry is medicine to fix the broken
The hand rotates the pencil
But the heart writes the words
Each poem is a message
That I want to be heard
I chose this path because its a healer
Poetry is a natural medicine with no side effects
It heals the burns and stitches up the cuts
It is proof that words can speak as loud as actions
And the price is free, disregard any transactions
And money is never what I yearn for
The emotion of the reader is worth much more
So let my words be the cure
I have many selections inside my store
Tell me what's wrong and I'll write you a prescription
I'm the medicine man so just sit back and listen
I'm here to heal
To remind you that you to are not the only one who can't feel
We can do this together
Lets help the broken

hmmm. .. very interesting the way you wrote. Indeed writing is a heal, a medicine with no side effects.
I liked the imagery, especially the lines given below

I have many selections inside my store
Tell me what's wrong and I'll write you a
prescription
I'm the medicine man so just sit back and listen
I'm here to heal

Nice job.
keep it up.
