Okay people, so this is a poem that I read in Peer Advisory last year. It's really sad, but I've sort of incorporated it into a Sammy Keyes fanfic.
"Jeez, Marissa! The only reason you want to stay is because Danny is here! I thought you'd given up on that creep!"
"But, Sammy! I-"
"Forget it, Marissa. It's not like I'm mad at you! Anyway's, I'm going home now. Lady Lana's coming back and I have to be home by 12."
"But, come one, this is Brandon's party!"
"Yeah, I know, but I have to go. Remember, no drinking!" I have a rule against drinking. I think it's disgusting, especially when you're not even at the legal age. Brandon's a really responsible guy, but some of the others... not so much.
I pulled out of the driveway in my Marissa's car. Since it was late, I couldn't ride my skateboard home. Just as I pulled out of the driveway, I saw a flash of headlights, and..was that Taylor Briggs? CRASH!
As I lay there, I remembered Lady Lana.
Mom...
The rest of the story is the poem. I nearly cried when we read it. I can't seem to forget i
I DON'T OWN THIS POEM, BUT THANK YOU TO WHOEVER WROTE IT.
"Death of an Innocent"
I went to this party mom
I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink mom
So I drank soda instead.
I felt real proud inside mom
The way you said I would
Even though all my friends mom
Told me that I should.
I know I did the right thing mom
I know your always right
The party's finally ending mom
As everyone drove out of sight.
As I got inside my car mom
I knew I'd get home in one piece
'Cause the way you made me feel mom
So responsible so sweet.
I started to drive away mom
As I pulled into the road
The other guy didn't see me mom
And hit me like a load.
I lay there on the pavement mom
I hear the policeman say
The other guy was drunk mom
Now I'm the one to pay.
I'm lying here dying mom
I wish you'd get here soon
How come this happened to me mom
My life bursted like a balloon.
There's blood all around me mom
Most of it is mine
I hear the paramedics say mom
I'll die in a short time.
He didn't know where he was going mom
He was probably at the same party as I
There's one big difference though mom
He's going to live while I die.
Why do people drink mom
It can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains mom
Just like a burning knife.
The man who hit me mom
Is walking, it's no fair
I'm lying here dying mom
While all he does is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry mom
Tell dad to be brave
For when I'm in heaven mom
Write my name upon my grave.
Someone should have told him mom
Not to drink and drive
If they'd often take the time mom
I'd still be alive.
My breath is growing short mom
I'm becoming very scared
Please don't cry for me mom
'Cause when I needed you, you were there.
I have one last question mom
Before I say good-bye
I didn't even drink mom
So why am I the one to die.
This is the end mom
I wish I could look you in the eye
To say these final words mom
I LOVE YOU & GOOD-BYE.
