My Untold Story





This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 32; the thirty-second edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is 'An Untold Story'





I went to a party, Mom
I did not drink,
as u had said, Mom

I felt really good inside,
as u had mentioned,
I would feel,
If I keep that aside

didn't not drink and drive,
The way you thought,
I would,
Even though I was told,
I should,
They said, it’s a thrill,
still I held on to my will

Finally the party was ending,
Out of sight,
Everyone was going,
I felt proud, thing
I had done was right

As I got in the car,
I knew I had to be home safe,
I braced the belt and checked the brake

I pulled on to the road,
Slow I was on the node
But the other car,
Just struck me like a load
Motionless I was lying on the road
Many injuries I boar,
the other guy was drunk,
I heard the policeman roar

This is not fair, Mom
the guy who hit me is walking,
while I’m unable to do any talking

There is a lot of blood around,
Most of which is mine,
The medic says,
I will die in short time

I wish someone had told him,
Not to drink and drive
If so, I would still be alive,
Probably he was at a party as I,
only difference was, he drank
and I will die

I am losing breath,
My thoughts are fading,
I wish you reach in time,
I swear Mom,
didn't dink and drive

My last wish, this
An untold story, Mom
Reaches everyone in time,
didn't drink,
It was others who didn't think,
I wish everyone now thinks,
So no one’s life is ruined in a wink

Be fore I say good bye,
I ask a question Mom,
didn't drink and drive,
So why am I the one to die?

  5. Breathtakingly poignant. A drink and drive from the eyes of a victim who didn't drink and drive. Wow. My heart bleeds for such victims and their families who for no fault of theirs fall prey to mindless insensitivities of others. Very well written Karan! Best wishes for BAT!
