In Memory of: Steve and Laura Wright RIP
Death of an Innocent
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's 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 start 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 n 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 its fair.
I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.
Tell my borther 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? WHY AM I THE ONE TO DIE???
~ANON~
