"Dying"
As a child, I was dying to be a teenager.
Then, I was dying to get my license.
After that, I was dying to finish highschool.
After highschool, I was dying to start college.
While in college, I was dying to hit twenty-one.
When I turned twenty-one, I was dying to drink.
After I drank, I was dying to go home.
While going home, I hit a speedbump.
As I hit it, I realized I wasn't wearing my seatbelt.
As I went flying, I was dying to land.
As I landed on pavement, I was dying to get help.
When I woke up, I was dying to know what happened.
I looked around and realized,
I'm only twenty-one,
And I'm actually lying here,
In a hospital
Dying.
And that speed bump,
was lying right next to me,
dying sober.

The main inspiration I had to write this piece was the fact that we were talking about alcohol and drunk driving in school. My teacher had read us a poem entitled, "Death Of An Innocent" and it really hit me then, and I thought to myself, 'Man, I wish I could do that!'. So, I stood up and accomplished my goals. I have read a poem partially similar formatting wise, and that gave me ideas. I have written more than this, but I'm still making adjustments. More to come soon!!
