* A poem i found on the internet it sends shivers down my spine * <br /> <br />I went to a party, mom, <br />and remembered what you said, <br />you told me not to drink and drive, mom, <br />so i had a sprite instead, <br /> <br />I felt proud of myself, mom, <br />the way you said i would, <br />that i didn't drink and drive, mom, <br />though some friends said i should, <br /> <br />I made a healthy choice, mom, <br />and your advice to me was right, <br />the party finally ended, mom, <br />and the kids drove out of sight, <br /> <br />I got into my car, mom, <br />sure to get home in one piece, <br />I never knew what was comming, mom, <br />something i expected least, <br /> <br />Now i'm laying on the pavement, mom, <br />and i hear the policeman say, <br />'the kid that caused this wreck was drunk' <br />Mom, his voice seems far away, <br /> <br />My own bloods all around me, mom, <br />as i try hard not to cry, <br />i can hear the paramedic say, mom, <br />'this kid is gonna die! ' <br /> <br />I'm sure the guy had no idea, mom, <br />while he was flying high, <br />because he chose to drink and drive, mom, <br />now i would have to die, <br /> <br />So why do people do it, mom, <br />knowing that it ruins lives? <br />and now the pain is cutting me, mom, <br />like a hundred stabbing knives, <br /> <br />Tell sister not to be afraid, mom, <br />tell Daddy to be brave, <br />and when i go to heaven, mom, <br />put 'DADDY'S GIRL' on my grave, <br /> <br />Someone should have taught him, mom, <br />that it's wrong to drink and drive, <br />maybe if his parents had, mom, <br />i'd still be alive, <br /> <br />My breath is getting shorter, mom, <br />i'm getting really scared, <br />these are my final moments, mom, <br />and i'm so unprepared!<br /><br />Emma Jane Rae<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-party-19/
