last words
I thought about where I could have gone wrong
So many years of warnings, the lectures, so long
"Don't do this" and "Just say no" they informed
"I know, I know" was my reply and out of the room I stormed
"I'm not a little girl anymore" I thought to myself
"I know what's good and what's bad for my health"
But that night seemed to flow into so many days
Days where my judgment and thoughts became haze
Without thinking carefully of what I was to do
I took a sip, then another, then more than a few
Such fun it was, being so carefree
Free of the rules, free of being "cautious me"
Sooner than later the sun came up
Telling us all "one last cup"
So with my mind turned off, and my head in the sky
I took my one last gulp, and said good-bye
I climbed into the drivers seat, knocking everything down
And headed left, towards the middle of town
I panicked and thought when my parents would be home
"I'll speed just a little, no one will ever know"
I tried and tried to stay on one side of the road
But I couldn't transition out of "Drunk" mode
I swerved around an invisible car... right into a telephone pole
With a crash and a bang and a jol I officially sold my soul
Those bottles and shots had a bigger price tag than I had expected
With just one word all of this could have been rejected
The warnings had only made me so much more curious
"When my parents find out, they're gonna be furious"
I felt myself become weaker and weaker as I laid on a mound of dirt
"I never meant for it to turn out this way," with death I had to flirt
Within moments everything changed and I became "just another teen"
"Maybe her parents never warned her, why, that's so obscene"
The police officer shook his head with sorrow in his eyes
"Another article in the paper this week about another teen who died"
