on that night of prom
i thought things would be great
little did i know i'd be learning my fate
When my prom date arrived,
I kissed mom good-bye
I would have been more careful
If i'd known that i'd die
Joyriding around,
we sipped and drove
before i could blink
i was mangled on the road
the scent of blood
and thoughts of death
surrounded my head
as i took my last breath
Seeing my crying family
is the last thing i remember
I wouldnt celebrate graduation
or my birthday in december
there'd be no wedding
no baby shower or career
all because i drank and drove
i lost these precious years
i looked down upon them
what have i done?
life is much more
than having a little fun
so remember, dear friends
next time you drink and drive
this could be your last moment
that you spend alive.

Wow!
This is an awesome poem! I would try to contact MADD (mothers against drunk driving). This is a powerful message that can save many lives. Love that you used the perspective of someone who lost their life.
Great job!
