People are always saying
That life is too short not too take risks
But if we should be the one to always take the chance
Would we ever think what danger exists?

Take, for example,
The story of young Betty Sue
She took the risk
Because she didn't believe what it would do

She was just a sophomore
In her small home town’s high school
She was very independent
And stubborn as a mule

She was invited
To a party with some friends
But when she first arrived
She had no idea how the night would end

Someone asked her if she would like
To have an alcoholic drink
She knew it could be trouble
But she decided to take the risk—not think.

She told herself she’d just have
One small drink that night
But then she had another then one more
And soon she wasn’t thinking right

She felt as if the world was spinning
Ten times faster than before
She tried to cure her feeling
By drinking "just one more"

She took the risk that night
But before she reached her house
She was lying at the side of the highway
With blood upon her blouse

She had been driving that horrible night
After having had too much to drink
If only she hadn’t took the risk
If she had only stopped to think….

Then she wouldn’t be lying in front of the church
And everyone’s eyes filled in a teary mist
If only she had thought twice
And wouldn’t have taken the risk

Love can tear and rip you apart, but if you're very lucky, it'll put you back together again.

Reminds me of this

I think it's good, but please no bumping without replies...if people want to reply, they will. One way to not get any replies is to keep asking for them.

I like the way you rhymed the second and the last lines. I didn't notice it the first time around, but I did the second time. You also have a really good point, in that drinking and driving is a terrible thing, and people need to think more before getting behind the wheel, or before taking a drink with the knowledge that they might be driving somewhere later. Thanks for sharing. Good message behind the poem.

"To die, to sleep --
To sleep, perchance to dream, ay there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause; there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life."
-William Shakespeare, Hamlet

buen provecho

I liked how you used a poem to tell this story. I also think the meaning here is good. Though I must say If you never took risks nothing would ever happen you wouldn't get married.... but in this case you are right. don't take risks that have to do with drinking and driving. Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I see your face... I guess it's just a reflection of what I want to see. But it seems so real does it mean you're really watching over me? ~me

Thanks, guys! I appreciate it! I wish there were a way I could reply without bumping it (sorry), but I just wanted to thank you guys. And, to Hellsangel, I'm sorry for bumping it. Thanks for the advice, I'll remember my patience next time!
