Why Must it End This Way

By Johnny

I went out feeling confident 
With only one thing on my mind.

I told myself I wouldn't drink,
Or choose to waste my time. 

So when the party finally ended,
And my friends drove out of sight,

I felt proud of myself -
For doing what was right. 

As I'm driving down the highway,
and I'm eager to get home,
something changed my life forever
that I'd have to face- alone. 

Some kid that had been drinking,
Was now driving out of control.
And because of his mistakes that night,
It was I - who paid the toll. 

With broken glass, and twisted metal,
On the pavement now I lay. 

Inflicted with the wounds of death;
Why must it end this way?
