true poem


i went for a drink dad


I went for a drink dad
And I thought about what you said
You told me not to take drugs dad
So I had a drink instead

I felt proud as I drove my car home
I didn't take any drugs
I remembered what you said dad
I was waiting for your hugs

I got into my car dad
Sure to get home very safe
I never knew what I hit dad
I suddenly lost my head

Now im lying on the floor dad
And I hear the police say
He never knew what hit him
the boy was where he lay

The blood is all around me
As im trying to stay sane
I can hear them say loudly
That she is to blame

So im sorry dad IV killed an innocent child
I wish you had warned me
About drink not drugs instead

I wish you could kiss me
As I lie here and die
I wish I could forgive myself
So I love you and goodbye.

This is almost an exact copy of a poem I have read plenty of times through forwarded emails and such...except in the original it is that the person is telling her parents they told her not to drink-so she had a coke instead, etc. It isn't original. Parts have been changed, but this isn't a new poem.
