No Accident

I decided to write a poem about the consequences of driving drunk. This poem is completely fictional and not based on the experiences of me or anyone I know.

One second your laughing in the driver's seat

The next your world is upside down

Glass shatters, the airbags deploy

Blood splattered, pain everywhere

You try to scream but you can't breathe

You wake up in a hospital bed

To learn you'll never walk again

Your friends are both dead

They tell you, 'you were lucky to survive'

But all you feel is numb

Keep pinching yourself, it can't be real

Any minute you'll wake up

Close your eyes, pray for a miracle

You can't fathom how you ended up here

You can't even remember what happened tonight

A night of celebration gone wrong

A blood alcohol level three times the legal limit

22 and confined to a wheel chair

Arthur and Macy 25 and dead

Tomorrow when you wake up you'll be dead too
