Ride The WavesA Poem by Joey MartinezAs I lay alone, captive on my log looking at the ocean I just wish I had people around me, I just wanna hear commotion Instead, all I hear are the waves crashing against my so called "boat" And all I can think about is how long it can hold me a float I was on a cruise with my family, all was well But in a blink of an eye, everything went to hell All I remember is people screaming and crying Knowing that they are possibly dying The boat began to capsize, and tilt on its end I became separated from my family, there was no hand to lend The waves struck hard and pushed me off my feet I thought I was gonna die, that me and death were finally gonna meet The waves pushed me hard and threw me off the boat I landed in the ocean with the fear of drowning, I lost all hope Then a wooden log floated on by I climbed on it happily knowing I'm not gonna die But luck was still not on my side No one is around me, Its just me and the sky So here I am, laying on my wooden log Trying to find God up in the sky, looking through the fog I'm stranded in the middle of the ocean Just floating along with the waves motion Will someone rescue me? I have no clue I honestly don't even know what to do My family is gone, but I have to man up and cope Because I know a man should never lose hope
