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 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 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 did,
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.

Most of the stuff I write in here is just how I feel at the moment or for that day. I like to go swimming, and I like to listen to music and play soccer. My favorite video game is Kingdom Hearts.
