Drunk Driving.....
 

This was given to me my freshmen year of high school, and i have since forgoten about it, until it was sent to me in a e-mail, im sure some of ou have seen this thought id share...

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 "Daddy's Girl" 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?

thats deep

I don't even know what to say......thanks for sharing.

:(

I remember that from long ago. Intense.

I never read that, but that's very sad, what's more sad though is that things like that happen in real life. :no: And it sickens me. It really does. ;(

yea i know, its horrible....

That's why I'll never get behind the wheel after I've been drinking. Ever.

Same here. For me, it's just like buckling up...actually even more important than that! :cigar:

this is why im nt on the road right now.... im planted at this place, and my keys wont get within 100yard of my car

Same thing goes for drunk posting... don't do it ;)

:D

Don't drink and post, there are no chics in jail! ;) :D

that's not an offense. :paranoid:

and i think we had this posted before, but still it's intense when i read it

thanks

Yah I've read that numerous times before...I still wanna cry every time I read it;( I always worry about my guy friends drivin home after they've been drinking...even if it's only been like 2 drinks and I know they're "fine", I still worry. Just my nature I guess.

I think there is a difference between one/two beers and driving drunk. I see no problem with drivin with one beer in my system possibly two if i hadn't had them to close together. I've only been behind the wheel after some crown royal and needless to say nothing happened, i wasn't drunk but i wouldn't encourage people driving with any booze in their system. There are to many crazy people out there.

I remember that from awhile back, very emotional poem, never want to be in that situation.
