Living (Pt 1)

by Carlee Ann   May 30, 2005


I went to a party tonight, Mom
And I remembered what you said
So when they passed around the pot
I had some chips instead

The drinks began to pour
They all sipped vodka and beer
I had a Pepsi with ice
As they drank away all fear

Strangers began making out
And moved much farther fast
But I stayed off the bed
I wanted my morals to last

I made all the right choices tonight
Because I want to live
The beer, drugs, and sex were dumb
They always take and never give

I'm heading home now
And I'm sure you'll be proud
When I tell you I was smart
That I didn't give in to the crowd

I see the cars around me
And I'm so glad I'm sober
I smile to myself
My life isn't going to be over.
