Why Did This Happen?


Why? Why did this happen? Why did this happen to me? I kept my seat belt on, mom and dad. I never drank beer at the party, mom and dad I never drove home drunk, mom and dad. I kept my hands at ten and two, so why? Why did this happen? I was just an innocent bystander. I wasn’t even in their car! So, why? Why am I dead? Why can’t I live the rest of my life, but they do? Why am I paying for their drunken mistakes? This could have been avoided if they didn’t drink and drive.
