Pay the Price

I was always surrounded by alcohol
One day I will pay the price
For my mistake
I would stroll among the sidewalks
Clearing my head
I wanted to give up
Everything I had
Done being abused
Done with the depression
Alcohol has taken over
I stumbled into the road
One step in
The Last sound
Was the tires screeching
I felt the pain for only a second
Next I knew
I was laying there in the rain
I was drenched and suffering
Knowing that I won’t survive
I lay in silence
A heartless soul took my life
How did they not see me
With the red umbrella
Clutched in my hand?
