Party

It started at a party
Me trying to look cool
When they offered booze
I just couldnt refuse!
Theyd label me a fool

So off I went
With a beer in hand
Taking sips
Being "The Man"

One led to another
I didnt feel so well
Id have to tell my mother
that I was falling ill

I found my keys, ready to leave
Told myself Id be all right
I hadnt drank so much
That I couldnt still drive

Away I drove
In drunken bliss
Not one friend
Objected to this

Out of nowhere came a car
I tried to hit my brake
Yet In my drunken stupor
I was just one second too late

Metal is screeching
Tires are squealing
Glass is shattering
All in an instant

I lay in the hospital bed
My body screaming with pain
But thankfully Im told
Youll live

In a couple of days
I learn a horrible truth
Though I survived
two others had not

They were on their way
To her parents house
To announce
That they were engaged

He was to be a doctor
In just a short two months
She was already a teacher
Loved by her class very much

Because of me
Two fine people are dead
Many times have I wished
It had been me instead

i didnt actually have this happen to me, im just against drunk driving so i thought i would write this to help people understand what can happen
