I Went to a Party Mom

I went to a party, and remembered what you
said. You told me not to drink, Mom so I had a sprite
instead. I felt proud of myself, the way
you said I would, that I didn't drink and drive, though
some friends said I should. I made a healthy
choice, and your advice to me was right as the party
finally ended, and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to get home in one
piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom something I
expected least. Now I'm lying on the
pavement, and I hear the policeman say, the kid that
caused this wreck was drunk," Mom, His voice seems far
away. My own blood's all around me, as I
try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, this
girl is going to die. I'm sure the guy had no
idea, while he was flying high, because he chose to
drink and drive; now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mom Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stabbing
knives. Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
tell daddy to be brave, and when I go to heaven, put
"Daddy's Girl" on my grave. Someone should have taught
him, that it’s wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his
parents had, I'd still be alive. My breath
is getting shorter, Mom I'm getting really scared. These
are my final moments, and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom, as I lie here and
die. I wish that I could say I love you, Mom So I love
you and good-bye.
