PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There was a point in time when I walked like you

Treated life like it was new

I wouldn't then if only I knew

It started on my 21st

I went to a bar not expecting the worst

Celebrating with a couple of drinks

Not even then did I stop to think

Staggering, I got into my Jeep

As I started to drive, felt the feeling of sleep

If I ever thought, I would never suspect

The misfortune that would happen next

Just as I began to dream

I look up in time to hear a scream

Later on, I remember as I am waking

Someone's life I am taking

My alcohol level was way beyond right

I will never ever forget that night

As it turns out, the person's life I took

Was the author of a famous book

The book was entitled "Don't Drink at the Wheel"I can't believe she was the one to deal

Now as I sit here in my chair

I regret how I was not aware

Of the death drinking and driving can do

Never again will I walk like you
