Above the waves

Above the waves

A Poem by Joey Martinez

The sun shines bright
the wind gives it gentle breeze
but I still have these sad emotions
and I ask myself, how do I get rid of these? 
I can have a perfect day, everything can go well
But deep inside of me, I am still battling, I'm going through hell
I just want a day where I can feel pure
But these negative emotions start to grow even more
As I sit here writing this poem and enjoying the sun's beautiful ray
I can't help but think, "Why am i not fully enjoying this day?"
I can't help but think
how low I have sinked
But I'm overcoming these negative emotions
I'm pushing positivity and setting it in motion 
But I still get caught up in pointless negative commotions
Its like as if I'm drowning myself in a depression filled ocean
But as I start to sink, I pull myself up
Because I realized I am my own raft
I am my own anchor
No one else is gonna keep me afloat 
I'm building positivity around me, thats my boat
And with that, I can never drown
I will always keep my head up high and never look down
