This poem is an excerpt from Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul.....
I went to a birthday party,
But I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all,
So I had Sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't choose to drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
I knew 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 own car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
Never knowing what was coming,
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement.
I can hear the policemen say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk."
His voice sems far away.
Now my own blood is 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 not idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive
That I would have to die.
So why do people do it,
Knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell my sister not be afraid,
Tell Daddy to be brave,
And when I got to heaven to
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him
This it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had,
I'd still be alive.
Me breath is getting shorter,
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" and "Good-Bye".
