I am your worst nightmare, <br />and it's coming true, <br />i've come back from behind the grave, <br />and i am going to haunt you, <br />for i am what your scared of most, <br />i'm no longer living, <br />i am the ghost, <br />the ghost of the child, <br />who's life you took away, <br />on that sad November day, <br />remember i was playing with my friends, <br />seconds before my life came to an end, <br />at the age of 7 i felt so alive, <br />until you decided to drink and drive, <br />you mounted the curb, <br />and hit me square, <br />why me? i felt so scared this isn't fair, <br />i felt pain and saw darkness all around, <br />then 1 week later, sad faces, <br />i was being placed into the ground, <br />if only i could have one wish, <br />that one wish would be, <br />for you not to have been so selfish, <br />so i could've been set free, <br />it wasn't only my life that you so quickly snatched, <br />i was only a tiny chick, <br />waiting patiently to hatch, <br />but i didn't get my chance, <br />to blossom like a flower, <br />you took away, <br />all my courage, my strength and my power, <br />so i'm back to get my revenge on you, <br />for that wicked thing you've done, <br />i will be there everyday, to ruin all your fun, <br />i will always be there in your head, <br />i'm the one you knocked down DEAD! <br />you were told it's dangerous, <br />so please don't drink and drive, <br />if only you'd have listened to them words, <br />i'd still be alive! !<br /><br />Emma Jane Rae<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-don-t-drink-driving/
