"I'm sorry

it was just a small party

only a coupl eof guys

I only drank water I swear"

That is what I would say to you

"I left when it was getting bad

I was going to be home by curfew"

if I were still alive

"Mommy don't look so sad

it was in God's plan"

that is what I want you to believe

"Daddy, you couldn't have stopped this

it was because of you I don't drink"

that is what you need to remember

"Don't keep my sister under complete supervision

what happened was not you fault

and it could have been anyone

it was just me this time"

that is what I wish I could say

"see this is what happened

I wanted adventure, but I wanted to be safe

I took myself to a party

though I knew it was a temptation

but, be proud, while everyone was drunk,

I was still drinking water

I knew I had to be home by midnight

so I left

driving down the road I recognized

some of the other cars from the party

passing me at great speed

but I stayed below the speed limit

then it happened

and I thought I could handle it

a car tried to pass

but someone was coming

from the other direction

I was hit

I heard glass breaking

metal bending

and me screaming

but I thought I would be fine

I heard sirens

and the other guy cursing,

' I am going to be in so much trouble

I shouldn't have been drinking

my parents are going to kill me'

I want to yell

'my parenst won't'

but the pain was unbearable

it consumed my body

and I just knew

I was done

when the ambulance got there

they removed my body

and covered me with a sheet

'this is not fair

I am only 20'

I wanted to scream"

so as I lay here

with unsaid things

I want the world to know:

"when you are flying high

watch out someone may die"
