Not Another Statistic

I didn’t decide to drink and drive,To kill an innocent person,I thought about the value of a life,I’m not another statistic. I didn’t decide that life’s no good,That I should end my life,My family to deal with what I did,I’m not another statistic.I didn’t decide to keep my mouth shut,What happened to me was wrong,I hope from jail he’ll look and see,I’m not another statistic. I didn’t decide to wear that mask,I let it fall off my face,I set my creativity to another task,I’m not another statistic.I didn’t decide to let the pain go too far,To let it eat away at my life,I healed my heart and its scar,I’m not another statistic. I decided I’m better than this life,That people think it should be,I’m standing up for my right,I’m not another statistic.
