Then, the paramedics brought the body to the ambulance, now, he could clearly see it. He remember whose body it was. The body belonged to... himself.
I went to a party mom, i remember what you have said. You told me not to drink, mom, so i drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, mom, and the way your said i would. I didn’t drink and drive, mom, even though the other said i should.
I know i did the right thing, mom, i know you are always right. Ow the party is finally ended, mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.
As i got into my car, mom, i knew I’d get in in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, mom, but as i pulled out into the road, the other car didn’t see me, mom, and hit me like a load.
As i lay there on the pavement, mom, i hear the polici say, “the other guy is drunk, mom. “and now I’m the one who will pay.
I’m lying here dying, mom... i wish you’d get here soon. How could this happen to me, mom? My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, mom, and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, mom, I'll die in a short time.
I just want to tell you,mom, i swear i didn’t drink. It was the other guy, mom. The other 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? I can ruin their 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 “mommy’s boy” on my grave.
Someone should tell 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 saying good bye.. I didn’t drink and drive, so why am i the one to die?
