Death Of An Innocent

I went to a party, Mum, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mum, so I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mum, the way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mum, even though the others said I should. I know the right thing, Mum, I know you are always right. Now the party is finally ending, Mum, as everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mum, 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, Mum, but as I pulled out into the road, the other car didn't see me, Mum, and hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, Mum, I hear the policeman say, the other guy is drunk, Mum, and now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mum, I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happpen to me, Mum? My life just burst like a ballon. There is blood all around me, Mum, and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, Mum, I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mum, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others, Mum. 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, Mum? It can ruin your whole life. I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife. The guy who hit me is walking, Mum, 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, Mum. Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, Mum, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave. Someone should have told him, Mum, not to drink and drive. If only they had told him, Mum, I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me, Mum. When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mum, before I say good bye. I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
