I Committed Hit and Run

I hit a child with my truck while he was riding his bike. Unless you've experienced this, you don't know what it's like. I should've got him some help but instead I hit the accelerator. The severity of what I did didn't sink in until several hours later. Sadly that poor boy died later that day. The guilt has haunted me since he passed away. I cut that boy down who was as precious as a flower. I committed hit and run and that makes me a coward. His family is suffering because of what I've put them through. I hope and pray that this experience never happens to you. I know that I'm doomed to pay for my horrible sin. I can't bring that boy back but I can turn myself in. What I did was horrific, I had a lot of nerve. Now I'll rot in jail and that's what I deserve. (THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM.)
