Oh What a Day

It was a morning just like any other
As I sat eating my breakfast food
I said goodbye to my little brother
And I left the house in a good mood

I thought my biggest problem was my ex
Because we'd recently just split
But my life was about to get real complex
Soon, I wouldn't worry about her one bit

Before I went out, I went to my flat
I said hi to my other brother and dad
But I had to leave and get out of there, stat
There was much fun that had to be had

I was in a total rush to see my mate
So I was almost running down the street
But he knew I was going to be late
I'd been in such a rush, never had time to eat

Got to my mates, met an old school friend
I sat in the back of his flashy car
But I didn't know it would almost be my end
As he left tire marks on the tar

Five minutes later there was a head-on crash
Came round the corner, it happened so quick
My mates got out, gone in a flash
While I was left, the stuck stick

It was lucky I was wearing a seat belt
Engine smoke filled the car air
Because I was strapped, my death wasn't felt
And so I lived with this story to share

My face and mouth was full of blood
And I was told I was missing teeth
I wanted a career as an acting stud
Now I've just got months of grief

I said "well this was a great trip"
They laughed nervously in shock
Told the paramedics about my hip
The hospital was just around the block

An hour later I laid in bed
Wires and monitors all around
Thanking my lucky stars I wasn't dead
Though my teeth were nowhere to be found

My mum and dad came, she cried
My dad also hid a frightened tear
I comforted them, well I tried
But my death was their biggest fear

I couldn't bare to even try to look
Upon my now much damaged face
That day my life was nearly took
And that I couldn't have replaced

It will set me back about 14,000 pound
To replace those two teeth I lost
My missing incisors were never found
For a stupid driver, I pay the cost

Now I'm on twelve pills a day
And I'm forbidden from eating real food
but now i feel better than OK
i survived, I'm in a 'Happy to be alive' mood

*On November 12 2005 i was in a head-on car crash. I was sitting in the back seat on the passenger side. I lost my two front teeth, with a third lodged up into my gum, my left side of my face was bruised, swollen nose and a very badly bruised hip. The front seat passenger got medication and a week off work for a chest pain and the driver didn't get a scratch. The car we hit had a baby in it but was fine. i came out worse than everyone. The crash is now being investigated and if the car is found to of not been faulty when it happened, the driver will serve a prison sentence*
