Sorry poem

Mom and dad, I'm sorry

That I lied where I was going

and then crashed my car.

New, older guys

wanting to go for a ride.

Me, young and stupid

insecure and without the power

to say "no."

Them, pressuring me

and my friend not defending me.

But in the end, I guess I wanted to go,

too.

Voice in my head saying "do it."

"Nothing has ever happened before."

Too much weight in the car,

and too much speed.

We crashed.

I felt horrible, scared and like it was unreal.

I remember the ambulances, police cars and fire trucks.

My mom crying over the phone.

I was in shock.


I hope you have already forgiven me for being
reckless and causing you unnecessary fear.
