If Only I Wasn’t

I never intended to, but because of me

Far too many were killed needlessly 

Overtaking that car was one of my stupid mistakes

Never knew my car had such faulty brakes 

Little child was on the zebra crossing but I didn’t see her

You see, I should have left my nails and polish them later

I was going too fast and ran a red light

We were fooling around and I didn’t see the lady in white

All those text messages weren’t urgent, why didn’t I wait  

Should have saved the food for home still I drove and ate

Numerous accidents happen each day with a handful of survivors

Thoughtless and careless, If Only I Wasn’t one of the delinquent drivers
