I went to a party, Mom. I remembered
what you said. You told me not to drink,
Mom. So I drank coke 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're always right.
Now the party is finally ending,
Mom. As everyone drives 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, Mom, to be responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom,
but as I pulled onto the
road, the other car didn't see
me, Mom. And it hit me like a load.
As I lie on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
The other guy is drunk, Mom,
and now I'm the one who'll pay .
I'm lying her dying, Mom, I wish
you'd get here soon.
How come this happened
to me, Mom! My life burst
like a balloon. There's blood
all around me, Mom,
most of it is mine.
I hear the paramedic say,
Mom, I'll die in a very short
time. I just wanted to tel
you, Mom. I swear I didn't
drink. It was the others, Mom.
The others who didn't
think, he didn't know where
he was going, Mom. He
was at the same party as
I, the only difference
is, Mom, He drank, and I
will die! Why do people drink ,
Mom? It can ruin your
whole life! I'm felling
sharp pains now, Mom.
Pains just like a knife. The
guy who hit me is walking,
Mom. I don't think that is fair,
I'm lying here dying, Mom,
while all he can do is stare.
Tell daddy to be brave and when
I get to Heaven, Mom, write
" Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have told
him, Mom, not to drink and drive!
If only they would have taken
time, Mom, I would still be
alive! My breath is getting
shorter, Mom, I'm getting very
scared! Please don't cry
for me, Mom because
when I needed you,
you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good-bye,
I didn't ever drink, Mom,
So why am I to die?

This poem should wake up your teens
and parents. It should also make you ask which
child is yours…
The one who didn't and
died or the one who did and killed?
