Drunk Driving

by dawn   Oct 6, 2004


I Stayed with my friends
At a party that got out of control
A little get together they urged

They all drank
I had seen the pain of drunk teens
The temptation of the beers and the pressure
was enormous

With my friends pushing Beer and Vodka
in my sight
I resisted every push and every shove

I didn't even agree to a sip
That same night
Dark and wearily from tiredness
I drove some friends home

A safe driver
I was
Until a car was going the wrong way

Skidding fast
My car rolled
Off The road

Tumbling...
Tumbling.....
It finally came to a stop..

I blacked out
I called my friends name out
I found him lying on the floor

He was conscious but barely
The next thing I knew I was in a hospital bed
Blank walls
No color

All I could think about was the other car
"What could have happened to the driver"
I repeatedly asked

The Nurse said "He walked away without a scratch".
"What about my friend"..
"Is he Ok"

She dropped her head and said " I'm sorry"
Tears and Pain flowed through me
The driver was drunk and didn't get injured

My friend and me wanted to have some fun
He payed for a drunk driver..
Now we as his family and friends have to pay for his funeral...

I'm paralyzed for life
But,I will live to see His Justice on the teen who made a mistake that night...
