The one wearing her seatbelt...dies

by Chelsey   Dec 29, 2005


She was coming home from a school dance
She hated getting in other peoples cars
She remembered her mom always told her to buckle up
Even if she wasn’t going very far

She strapped on the seatbelt
Not wanting the night to end
She sat there feeling safe
As she looked to all her friends

She was the only one buckled up
She felt like such a child
“You guys this car wants to race us”
She just looked at the driver and smiled

They took off pretty fast
Flew past the red light
Hit a truck head-on
How did the driver miss the brights?

The girl who was wearing a seatbelt
Only had a couple broken bones
She knew she was in the hospital
As she heard nurses answering phones

Her friends in critical condition
They were 50/50 to die
She visited them everyday
With not a single drop from her eye

“Why wouldn’t you two listen to me?
You guys know I was right
If only you would have buckled up
It could have saved your life”

She left that day then cried
Not wanting to live anymore
God my two best friends are dieing
What do I have to live for?

She hung herself that night
Without a single ounce of faith
Leaving horrible memories for her family
Soon to become a wraith

When she died that night
Her friends seemed to live
They both sat there wondering
How they would forgive

See Faith may pay of sometimes
If only you believe
But this girl gave in to the devils game
So the earth she wanted to leave

No one could describe
The pain those two friends felt
Why was the girl that died that night?
The one who was wearing her seatbelt?
