The first poem I wrote in the month of October for Drunk Driving Awareness. |
Life Ticks Away I sit here and wait As my life passes by Seconds to minutes Minutes to hours Hours to days Days to weeks Weeks to months Months to years Each second I'm older The years passing by The clock ticks life away How can this be? I went to a party There was alcohol there I was the driver For my friends that were there It felt like forever Till we got in the car I drove down the road Then a BANG, It was gone We're in the car I'm fading fast I barely hear people What's going on? I remember bright lights Just as fast it went blank I say to myself "Was it luck, was it fate" We're taken away In a blink, in a flash I was knocked out And then after that I woke in a bed That wasn't my own My friends were all there They looked at me What's going on? Sadly they told me They stood with a frown Your gonna die I screamed, "Oh My God!" Only seconds to live I wrote out my will I told my dear friends To come closer to me To tell everyone What happened to me On that dark night In the alley street I wasn't drinking My friends had a few Then out of the blue Sped a car, Who knew. They we're all drinking They get a new chance But why I lie here With only seconds to last The nurses all gathered They covered my face I faintly heard, "I'm sorry, she's dead" I watch from the Heavens I look down on the Earth They're all at my funeral I stand transparent in the crowd So lost and afraid I watch them say prayers I'm in a box They lowered my down The next thing I know I'm now part of the Earth I went back to Heaven With tears in my eyes I asked, God, Why I had to die Years and years gone When my friends finally passed I brought up my thought For My second chance So right there I stood I asked them again "Why did I have to die?" Right there they told me It wasn't my fault It was the other driver Who was drunk, very drunk They still didn't answer So I asked them again They only said this; "You weren't the one drinking" "You froze and caused pain" My friends were all drunk There's someone to blame Back down on Earth There in the car That's why I left them With no reason at all So if that's the real reason I left them and died Then promise me this; "You wont be another To Drink and Drive." |
