Sad Poem

[Sam*ron]

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,

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,

"Daddy's Girl" is 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.

I don't know who wrote that, but it's pretty sad. I got it in an email.

It's a good message.

Yeah, that is a good message. It's very sobering to think about....

Yeah, it's a good message. Some people don't realize that their stupid actions can result in negative consequences for others. We all make mistakes, but some of them can be totally avoided... It's the avoidable ones that really get to me, not only about drinking and driving, but other things too.

There are so many people who think only about themselves and not how it could affect another. It's one thing to want to mess up your own life, whatever... but it's not cool to bring another down w/ ya (accidently or on purpose) just because of a someones reckless behavior. That's life, and life isn't fair.

Good message; always think about the consequence of things before doing it...
