dear mother, believe me
i did everything right
i didn't drink
or text and drive
i fastened my seatbelt
check ten seconds ahead
it's not fair, mother!
why did i end up dead?
he wasn't looking
he was checking his phone.
it was a hit and run, mother,
i was scared and alone.
the blood pooled around me,
the light when away.
i drove careful, mother,
but his text couldn't wait.
