Why?

Why?
By: xXAmanda-RebeccaXx

I went to a party, Mom,
and remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
so I had a Sprite instead.

I felt prous of myself,
the way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
and your adive to me was right,
as the party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming, Mom.
something I expected least.

Now, I'm lying on the pavement,
And the hear policemen say.
"That kid that caused this wreck was drunk."
Mom, his voice seems far away.

I never thought it'd hurt so bad,
Now the pain begins to grow,
I never thought today's the day,
that I would have to go.

My own bloods all around me,
as I try hard not to cry,
I can heard the paramedic say,
"This girl is going to die."

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high.
Because he chose to drink and drive,
now I would have to die.

So why do people do it Mom,
knowing it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Someone should have taught him,
that its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom,
tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,
Put 'Daddy's Girl' on my grave.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom,
I'm getting really scared,
these are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me, Mom,
as I lie here and die.
Wish I could say I love you, Mom,
So I love you and goodbye.
