I wanted to be cool

It all started one night at a party
I knew that it was wrong.
But i wanted to be cool.
So i did the unthinkable.
I smoked it.
I didn't smoke a cigarette or cigar
But something worse.
WEED.

I drove home
not thinking what i was doing
I ran a red light.
Next thing I know
I'm in an ambulance.
Blood all over my clothes.
I ask what happened
but all they say is lay down we are almost there
We get to the emergency room.

But for some odd reason i totally flip
I jump off of the crutch and run
run like hell.
Even though my legs, arms, and head hurts
I keep on going.
Next thing i know i cant breathe or see clear.
I hit the ground so hard it knocks the wind out of me.

I hear voices around me talking saying ill be fine.
My mother is by my bed and is crying with relief that i am OK.
They tell me i sprained my ankle and have a concussion. Also i have large cuts that had stitches.
But i will be just fine with some rest.

But then they say there is some bad news.
The car that i hit
the two people died.

And this is all because I wanted to be cool.
