(Ei, s mga tg FBHS Rizalian 04 sure me n nkkrelate kyo s poem n i2. Mam Cheps? )
DEATH OF AN INNOCENT
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, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I'd get home 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 policeman 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 wanted to tell you, Mom,
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 Girl" 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?
" My corner, my opinion, my belief.. "
( parang A.P.C motto...)
When I first read this poem I felt that my heart shattered into pieces ( drama noh??? ).
Kidding aside this poem is really something...
With it's touching lines it can change your whole being ( drama tlaga!, best actress n b? )
Personally, because of this poem I made a vow not to be an alcoholic.
Of course it will be ridiculous if I will say that I will never try to drink alcohol...
I'm an occasional drinker ( if that is what they call it ) but despite of that I know my limitations.
So why I'm sharing this things to you? ( pake-alam nyo nga nmn db? )
Although I believe that everyone is entitled to there own opinion.
And we are different individuals that has there own beliefs.
Im hoping that "again" this poem ( like dont quit ) will be a great help
in changing your life's point of view towards being an alcohol drinker ( lalo n pag nppadalas )...
