Poem

She didn’t know any better 
Was the excuse of the day 
And 16 is hard enough 
Without sibling children in the way 

“I didn’t birth these urchins,” 
She screamed for no one to hear 
But mom and dad were out the door 
In good spirit, full of cheer 

Selfish 16 year-olds rarely do as told 
And such was true that day 
She took the money they paid her
And she was on her way 

The girl across the pond would do 
So she handed her a twenty 
“I’ll be back before they’re home,” 
For a good time, she had plenty 

And in that smoke filled barn
With laughter, booze and boys 
16 year old had few cares in the world 
Except for that tell-tale noise

She tried to drown it out 
But she knew that she was wrong 
And it didn’t matter even a bit
When they played her favorite song

For the noise in her head grew louder
It tugged it shouted it pulled 
She knew she had to get home, quick 
Her mother could not be fooled 

She steadied her hands on the wheel 
To relieve the stranger sitter 
But the gravel pulled the car from her 
And that’s when it hit her 

Broken glass around an old oak
Sirens blaring from afar 
That one poor choice cost her family
More than just a car 

And In the passing days 
Hushed whispers full of half truths 
Sobbing, crying, asking why? 
16 drunk on 90 proof 

They say she was babysitting
Left the kids all alone 
But she’s not here to tell her side 
She resides beneath granite stone
