Poets are those who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them.

Dear Mr. Drunk Driver

by Courtney

dear mr. drunk-driver,
do you know what you did to this family?
could even you even begin to understand?
you got into that truck drunk
you drove on that highway
you made your choices and
now you have to live with them
you will never know the pain
that we feel everyday
you will never fully understand
what its like
you sit there begging for forgiveness
would you forgive
if it was the other way around?
could you forgive?
she has to live with the memories
she's haunted by the day
she will never be the same
you say your sorry
but is that true?
your only sorry
cause someone got hurt
i hope you realize what you did
you destroyed a family
she has to fight everyday
you will never understand her pain
you walked away without a scratch
she was left with the worst of it
i hope your happy for what you did
i hope it eats you alive
i hope it hurts think of that day
i hope it makes you cry
i hope you never forget ....

  1. That is touching to those who have lost friends to drunks. Your poem is exactly what should be said about the discusting people who drove whle drunk. Thank you for writing it
