I have tried to summarize my observation with vivid and simple manner. |
I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink Mom, So I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside Mom, The way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive Mom, Even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing Mom, I know you are always right. Now the party is finally ending Mom, As everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, So responsible and sweet. I started to drive away Mom, But as I pulled out into the road, The other car didn't see me Mom, And hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement Mom, I hear the policeman say, "the other guy is drunk," Mom, And now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom. I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me Mom? My life just burst like a balloon. There is blood all around me Mom, And most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time. I just wanted to tell you Mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think. He was probably at the same party as I. The only difference is, he drank and I will die. Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life. I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife. The guy who hit me is walking, Mom. And I don't think it's fair. I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare. Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, Mom, Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave. Someone should have told him, Mom, Not to drink and drive. If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mom. Before I say good bye. I didn't drink and drive, "So why am I the one to die?" |
