I went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right. Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet. I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road, the other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, the other guy is drunk, Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom. I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon. There is blood all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine. I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time. I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink. It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think. He was probably at the same party as I. The only difference is, he drank and I will die. Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife. The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair. I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare. Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave. And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive. If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive. My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared. Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye. I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, so please COPY and forward this poem to as many people as you can.

here is the one i just posted about(i know its really wrong! but read it)
Jenny was so happy about the house they had found. for once t'was on the right side of town. she unpacked her things with such great ease as she watched her knew curtains blow in the breeze. how wonderful it was to have her own room, school would be starting; she'd have friends over soon. there'd be sleep-overs and parties; she was so happy, its just the way she wanted HER life to be. on the first day of school everything went great. she made knew friends and even got a date she thought "i want to be popular and im going to be, cuz i just got a date with the star of the team" to be known in this school you have to have clout, and dating this guy would sure help her out. there was only one problem stoppong her fate, her parents had said she was to young to date."well i just wont tell them the eniter truth. they wont know the difference; whats there to loose"? jenny asked to stay with her friends that night, her parents frowned but said "alright." excited she got ready for the big event, but as she rushed around like she had no sense she began to feel guilty about all the lies, but whats a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride? well the pizza was good and the party was great but the moonlight ride would just have to wait. for dan was half drunk by this time. but he kissed her and said that he was just fine. then the room filled with smoke and dan took a puff. jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff. but dan was ready to ride to a point, but only after hed smoked another joint. they hoped in the car ready to ride, not thinking that he was to drunk to drive. they finally made it to the point at last, and dan started trying to make a pass. a pass is not what jenny wanted at all. (and by pass,i dont mean playing football) "perhaps my parents were right......maybe i am to young. boy how could i ever, ever be so dumb. "with all of her might she pushed dan away "please take me home i dont want to stay." dan cranked up the engine and floored the gas. in a matter of seconds they were going to fast. as dan drovie in a fit of wild anger, jenny knew her life was in danger. she begged and pleaded for him to slow down, but he just got faster as they neared the town. "just let me get home ill confess that i lied, i really went out for a moonlight ride." then all of a sudden she saw a big flash. "o god help please help us were going to crash" she doesnt remember the force of the impact. just that all of a suddin everything went black. she felt somewon remove her from the twisted rubble, and heard "call an ambulance these kids are in trouble" voices she heard.....a few words at best. but she knew there were two cars involved in a wreck. then wondered if dan was alright, and if the people in the other car were alive. she awoke in the hospital to faces so sad. "you've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad." these voices echoed inside her head, as they gently told her that dan was dead. they said, "jenny, we've done all we can do, but it looks as if we'll loose u to." "but the people in the other car?" jenny cried. "were sorry jenny, they also died." jenny prayed "god, forgive me for what i'v done, i only wanted just one night of fun." "tell those people's families, i'v made their lives dim, and wish i could return there families to them." "tell mom and dad im sorry i lied, and its my fault so many have died. oh, nurse, wont you please tell them that for me?" the nurse just stood there-she never agreed. but took jenny's hand with tears in her eyes. and a few moments later jenny died. a man asked the nurse, "why didnt you do your best to bid that girl her one last request?" she looked at the man with eyes so sad. "because the people in the other car were her mom and dad." this story is sad and unpleasent but true. so young people take heed, it could have been you.
