Consequences

I went to a party
With a couple of friends
Not knowing that day
Would be close to the end

And that party was sure
To be ‘out of sight’
I guess that’s the reason
I snuck out that night

See that party was only
For 18 and over
I was only 14
Driving illegally a Rover

Being at that party
It didn’t make me bubbly
I needed to get home
Before Mother caught me

My two friends were drunk
They didn’t want to go
But a stranger came over
And said “I’ll take you home”

I didn’t have a choice
So I said “Sure, I’ll come with”
And pretty soon we were driving
On 2nd and 25th

And that’s when I heard it
A ‘wee do wee do wee’
Come to find out
There was police down the street

The man I was with
Started speeding and cursed
I yelled to him “Whoa pull over
Before an accident occurs!”

I wish I hadn’t said that
Because, I’d just jinxed us both
On the next intersection
The car suffered a blow

We flipped maybe twice
Round and round went the car
When we finally stopped
I was physically scarred

The car was on fire
I could smell my burning hair
I looked over at my driver
To find that he was already impaired

I could hear the police yelling
“This girl isn’t gonna’ make it”
But I’ve gotta’ be a woman
And learn how to take it

I’ve gotta’ accept
That I’m going to die
Whether it’s today or tomorrow
I will have no life

But maybe Heaven
Won’t be so bad
‘Cause now I can go
See my wonderful dad

I’ll wait for my mother
My little sister, too
To come join me and daddy
In a world that is new

But now my friends,
I must say goodbye
Because I hear my mother rushing
To come kneel by my side

My family is crying
Though there’s nothing to fear
I wish I could speak
To tell mom “Your little girl’s here”

These are my last moments
I’m now going to die
I wish I could tell everyone
“I love you…goodbye.”
