Never To Awake
By Jenny Sensabaugh
(Contact: brushfr1@gateway.net)

I was driving home from school, Mom,
Even though I wasn't supposed, too.
I decided to go out, Mom.
I didn't even call.
We cruised down the road, Mom,
Exceeding speeds so high.
I started to get scared, Mom.
I was wishing you were here.
It started to get late, Mom.
We started out of town, Mom.
We swerved in and out of lanes.
We all laughed and screamed, Mom.
I thought this is getting out of hand.
We swerved into that lane, Mom.
We didn't see it's lights.
I heard a horrid screech, Mom.
Everything went blank.
No one is moving, Mom.
Everyone's so still.
I can't feel my body, Mom.
I can't even talk.
I hear a person say, Mom,
"How many were in that truck?"
My friends had been thrown on the highway, Mom.
Killed on impact.
I lay here dying in the truck, Mom,
Wishing you were here.
My eyes are getting heavy, Mom.
I can't stay awake.
I am going to visit Grandma, Mom.
Never to awake...
