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?
