Hit And Run


Cold air blows upon my pale face. Where am I? It's white its lonely What is this place? I rise to find im in a hospital bed. Braces on my arms cuts on my skin bandages on my head. The doctor comes in with the nurse in place. He walks to me with a sad look on his face. He tells me I will live But the others,they did not Their wounds too bad. They died very quickly but at least I fought. We were in a crash The car was wrecked. Hit by a drunk. Who wasnt looking last time I checked. My mother and sister both were dead when the doctor told me I wept so and so in my hospital bed. How could this happen? Why did that man drink? Why did he drive and hit us so? What did he think? That man lives today recently out of jail Cant remember a thing and feels no guilt as he received bail. He still drinks today. Why,oh why? Still he drives Passing me on the road as I continue to cry.

<p>This poem is so heartbreaking, it speaks right to the reader. It is raw and open, and emotional. The format you've given it makes the words flow right off the screen. If the story is true a commemorate you for being able to write this out so eloquently, and I most certainly would like to pass on my condolences to your loved ones. This is a strong piece against drinking and drive and deserves to be circulated. Thank you for sharing this with us.</p><p>Rebecca</p>
