Saddest poem I've read. Don't read if you are already depressed. here it is:
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?

It kills me inside that more people can't read this, like the people who drink.
is it ok that i print this and read it to my class and put it on some posters. it really upsets me that this stuff happens, and the innocent pay.

You set me as much as recognize that it is going to make me cry so it did not - It was once chilling however probably somewhat wordy every now and then. I'm an grownup so I see wherein it would be a bit of extra streamlined however this is a very excellent poem with an top notch loving message that I am definite you're going to obtain an A on.

It is so sad it makes me want to cry. I will never drink and drive. You never know if you will make it home safe and sound. Or you don't now who you might hurt or even worse die. I don't get it at all why people would just take the risk. It could hurt you or any other person. Just please don't drink and drive.

funny how a room full of listeners can cry at a poem like that and then never do a thing to curb drinking and driving.
I have a friend that will never walk again as a result of a DWI driver. She wasn't lucky enuff to die. Her passenger was brain damaged. I guess no one's dice were rolling out right that night.

I cry everytime I read that poem. It really touches me. I've received it in email before and it really drives home the sadness and loss drunk drivers cause. Please, anyone who reads this poem and answer...Don't drink and drive! It's not only your life at stake!!

That's a very good poem. It didn't make me cry maybe a bit teary eyed. But it is pretty damn good! I never heard it before.
