Its Gonna Be Alright

Its Gonna Be Alright

A Poem by Joey Martinez

My sister and I board the plane, we are filled with excitement 
And so are the other passengers, such strong looks of enlightenment
I grab the window seat located right by the wing of the plane
And watch the water drip from the wing caused by the rain
We turn off our electronics and get ready to take flight
My sister looked nervous but I promised here everything would be alright
We take off and start to soar to the gray cloudy sky
I'm proud I overcame my fears and choose to fly
This is my first time I ever ride a plane
People told me how scary it was and that kinda drove me insane
But once I boarded the plane and it started to move towards the lane
I felt my fears go away and my mind became sane once again
We reached 20,000 feet in the air, with little to no turbulence
And I have no annoying baby behind me or any cringe worthy disturbances   
As I look outside my window I see a strike of lightning appear
And that raised a little concern but still, I have no fear
I plug in my headphones and pay no mind
I saw my little sister noticed the lighting to but like I said, everything will be fine
She leans on me and starts to fall asleep
The plane was super quiet, you didn't even hear a peep
Just looking at my sister sleep made me feel drowsy
Being up all night from the excitement has me feeling kinda lousy
I was on my way to sleep until the captain had a word to say
"Were gonna experience turbulence, so please sit down and stay"
The plane starts to bounce viciously, my fear started to kick in and my ears started to ring
I look outside my window, and I witness the most drastic horrible thing
A bolt of lightning has hit the wing
Smoke is coming out the wing, and people start to panic
Every one is panicking and crying and I can't stand it 
I try to keep my sister and I calm
She holds me tight and doesn't let go of my palm
The captain comes on the mic and says 
"Mayday Mayday, brace for impact this is code red!"
All hell breaks loose, everyone is losing their minds
My sister looks at me with tears in her eyes
and says "you said everything will be fine!"
I was at lost for words, I can't believe what is unfolding
Everything was fine a minute ago now everyone is an uproar, scolding
Within each second, the plane drastically sinks closer to the ground
Sad faces and watery eyes is all I see all around
This is it, my life, gone in a instant
I can see heaven far away in the distance
I grab my sister, give her a kiss and grab her tight
I look at her, smile and say "Everything will be alright"
