Accidental Coma
I haven’t opened my eyes for days
I hear the sounds of machines beeping
I can feel you all near in so many ways
Checking in on me, your eyes peeping
But I’m somewhere deep in another realm
My brain kept alive by tubes and wires
Bits and pieces come back to overwhelm
I hear the sound of the screeching tires
I just had to finish one word in the text
I was distracted for only a brief minute
But oh how horrible what happened next
I hit an oncoming car killing everybody in it
The stuff running from my eyes is tears
I will live or die with what I have done
What recovery comes, will take years
Please take good care of my little son
I am so sorry, I want to tell you all so bad
Lost in this darkness, and barely alive
This message, if any purpose I had
Never ever never, text while you drive

Wow, how tragic, is this a true story
No, not a true story but based on events that I have been experienced with.
So sad, unfortunately that happens more than it should
great message! an important topic
(every driver should be reminded
as soon as the get in driver's, seat
'do Not drink and drive
do Not take drugs and drive
do Not text and drive
that vehicle, you're manoeuvring
with mere fingertips, thanks
to those
power assisted, steering wheels
is a weapon
of mass destruction! that can ruin
hundred of lives
in a millisecond, of bad judgement!)
thanks for sharing, dear poet
