A young man lies dying and he is wondering why??
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, everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, I knew I'd get home in one piece because of the way you raised me. I am responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, but as I pulled out into the road, the other car didn't see me. And hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, I hear the policeman say,"The other guy is drunk,". And now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying. I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me?
My life just burst like a balloon.There is blood all around me and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, 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 Boyl" 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?
