Letter To Drunk Drivers

He screams in the dead of night, I wake up with nothing but fright, I wish I could help, but I know I can’t, The thought of him getting better is very scant, He cries in the day from the pain he is in, The thoughts from the accident, in my head spin, I know it’s not my fault but it’s just so hard, The memories from that day leave me scarred, I wish things would go back to before, And the feelings inside me are at war, I wish I could take all the pain from him, But the chances of him getting better, are so slim, it kills me inside every day, it surrounds me with, a cloud of grey, I know I can’t help he is now disabled, everywhere we go, it’s like he is labelled, To all the drunk drivers, stop it please you will leave someone praying heartbroken, on their knees

It is a sad reality that this happens so many times..Some cases are worse than others but it is all such a useless waste when it could have been prevented..Congrats on your placement..Sara

I am so sorry to read about this all, and saying congratulations seems so out of place here, but still...
