but it touched my heart
a very long time ago when i was in 7th grade
Please read it carefully
and be careful at 17 or at any age
"Life is Precious"
Please God i am only 17
The day i died was an ordinary school day.
How i wish i had taken the bus,
but i was to cool for the bus.
I remember how i wheeled the car out of my mom
"Special Favor " i pleaded,
"All the kids drive"
when the bell rang at 2:50 p.m,
i threw my books in the locker
i was free until 8:40 a.m tommorrow morning
I ran to the parking lot ,excited
at the thought of driving a car and being
my own boss,i was free!
It doesnt matter how the accident happened.
I was goofing off,going to fast
taking crazy chances,but i was enjoying
my freedom and having fun.
The last thing i remembered
was passing an old lady who
seemed to be going awfull slow.
I heard a defeaning crash
and felt a terrifying jolt.
I saw all my friends and relatives
walk toward the casket,they passed
one by one and looked at me
with the saddest eyes i had ever seen.
some of them were crying.
Please somebody....
Wake me up
get me out of here !!!
I cant bare to see my mom
and dad so broken up
my grandparents are so taken
over by grief,they cant even walk.
My brothers and sister are like zombies
Please dont bury me ...
I am not dead.
I have alot of living to do.
I want to laugh and run again.
I want to sing and dance.
Please dont put me in the ground ....
I promise if you give me another chance
I will be the most carefull driver in the world
Please God i am only 17....
