I don't write poetry,
poetry
writes me.
It pulls my emotions
from deep within
slapping them on paper
into a lyrical spin,
into rhymes of sorts
helping me
to better deal with them.
Painful at times, yes
but
when a doctor
reallocates
your shoulder back into it's right place
it's only for the better.
Ironic how
the medicine for my soul
is found in the same place
as the wound.
