I am requesting help

Your MOM!! You make me feel so old LOL and I'm only 25.

Pearl Jam became popular when i was like 12 and I used to listen to them lots.

 

"Jeremy", was a sad song too, especially if you watch the video.

The boy that just "snapped" one day.

 

"Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy

Seemed a harmless little f**k

But we unleashed a lion

Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast

How could I forget?

And he hit me with a surprise left

My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open

Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard

 

Jeremy spoke in class today"

 

I wasn't into Pearl Jam when they were current, but I actually JUST checked out "Jeremy" too. It is an excellent video. you can watch it for free over at launch.com BTW all you need is a yahoo id.

I got another "gives you the shivers" poem...this one I found at the hospital one night on the waiting room table..someone had gotten it emailed to them and left the print-out there...you'll find that kinda ironic after you read it.

 

Mommy's Little Angel

Unknown Author

 

There came a frantic knock at the doctor's office door,

a knock, more urgent, than he had ever heard before.

 

"Come in, come in," the impatient doctor said.

"Come in,come in, before you wake the dead."

 

In walked a frightened little girl, a child no more than nine.

It was plain for all to see, she had troubles on her mind.

 

"Oh doctor, I beg you, please come with me,

my mother is surely dying, she's as sick as she can be."

 

"I don't make house calls, bring your mother here."

"But she's too sick, so you must come

or she will die I fear."

 

The doctor, touched by her devotion,

decided he would go, she said he would be blessed,

more than he could ever know.

 

She led him to her house, where her mother lay in bed.

Her mother was so very sick she couldn't raise her head.

But her eyes cried out for help

and help her the doctor did, she would have died

that very night had it not been for her kid.

 

The doctor got her fever down, and she lived through the night.

And morning brought the doctor signs,

that she would be all right.

 

The doctor said he had to leave but would return

again by two, and later he came back to check,

just like he said he'd do.

 

The mother praised the doctor for all the things he'd done.

He told her she would have died, were it not for her little one.

"How proud you must be of your wonderful little girl,

it was her pleading that made me come,

she is really quite a pearl!"

 

"But doctor, my daughter died over three years ago,

is the picture on the wall of the little girl you know?"

 

The doctors legs went limp for the picture on the wall,

was the same little girl for whom he'd made this call.

 

The doctor stood motionless, for quite a little while,

And then his solemn face, was broken by his smile.

 

He was thinking of that frantic knock heard at his office door,

And of the beautiful little angel that had walked across his floor.

 

I love poems like these, if anyone can find more like it (sends a shiver down your back), let me know.

Ok I've got one, I read it a few years ago and remembered it as soon as Xan started talking about poems which send shivers down one's spine. So here it is.

 

Pizza, A Party and A Moonlight Ride

Author Unknown

 

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.

For once in her life it was the right side of town.

 

She unpacked her things with such great ease

As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.

 

How wonderful it was to have her own room.

School would be starting, she'd have friends soon.

 

There'd be sleep-overs, and parties, she was so happy.

It's just the way she wanted her life to be.

 

On the first day of school, everything went great,

She made new friends and even got a date!

 

She thought "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,

Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"

 

To be known in this school you had to have a clout

And dating this guy would sure help her out.

 

There was only one problem stopping her fate.

Her parents had said she was too young to date.

 

"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.

They won't know the difference, what's there to lose?"

 

Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.

Her parents frowned but said "All right."

 

Excited, she got ready for the big event,

But as she rushed around like she had no sense.

 

She began to feel guilty about all the lies,

But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?

 

Well, the pizza was good, and the party was great,

But the moonlight ride would have to wait.

 

For Jeff was half drunk by this time,

But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.

 

Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.

Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.

 

Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point,

But only after he'd smoked another joint.

 

They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,

Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.

 

They finally made it to the point at last,

And Jeff started trying to make a pass.

 

A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all,

(And by a pass, I don't mean playing football).

 

"Perhaps my parents were right... maybe I am too young.

Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."

 

With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away.

"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."

 

Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas,

In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.

 

As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,

Jenny knew that her life was in danger.

 

She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,

But he just got faster as they neared the town.

 

"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.

I really went out for a moonlight ride."

 

Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.

"Oh God, please help us! We're going to crash!"

 

She doesn't remember the force of impact.

Just that everything all of a sudden went black.

 

She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,

And heard "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"

 

Voices she heard... a few words at best,

But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.

 

Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,

And if the people in the other car were alive.

 

She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad,

"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."

 

These voices echoed inside her head

As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.

 

They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do,

But it looks as if we'll lose you, too."

 

"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.

"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."

 

Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done.

I only wanted to have just one night of fun."

 

"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,

And wish I could return their families to them."

 

"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,

And that it's my fault so many have died.

 

Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"

The nurse just stood there, she never agreed.

 

But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes

And a few moments later Jenny died.

 

A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best

To bid that girl, her one last request?"

 

She looked at the man with eyes so sad,

"Because the people in the other car were her Mom and Dad."

 

This story is sad and unpleasant, but true,

So young people take heed, it could have been you.

 

I hope you guys liked that poem, it's my favorite against drunk driving. Please do take heed of the poem's message. Don't ever drive drunk, high, or tired, or ride with anyone who is. Take care everyone, and best wishes!

I have never seen that one before, that was a good shivery one tho... I am completely against drinking and drugs and stuff, so I don't ever have to worry, except maybe like the girl in this poem...

 

Death of an Innocent

 

I went to a party, Mom,

I remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom,

So I drank soda instead.

 

I really felt proud inside, Mom,

The way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom,

Even though the others said I should.

 

I know I did the right thing, Mom,

I know you are always right.

Now the party is finally ending, Mom,

As everyone is driving out of sight.

 

As I got into my car, Mom,

I knew I'd get home in one piece.

Because of the way you raised me,

So responsible and sweet.

 

I started to drive away, Mom,

But as I pulled out into the road,

The other car didn't see me, Mom,

And hit me like a load.

 

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,

I hear the policeman say,

"The other guy is drunk," Mom,

And now I'm the one who will pay.

 

I'm lying here dying, Mom...

I wish you'd get here soon.

How could this happen to me, Mom?

My life just burst like a balloon.

 

There is blood all around me, Mom,

And most of it is mine.

I hear the medic say, Mom,

I'll die in a short time.

 

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,

I swear I didn't drink.

It was the others, Mom.

The others didn't think.

 

He was probably at the same party as I.

The only difference is, he drank

And I will die.

 

Why do people drink, Mom?

It can ruin your whole life.

I'm feeling sharp pains now.

Pains just like a knife.

 

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,

And I don't think it's fair.

I'm lying here dying

And all he can do is stare.

 

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.

Tell Daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, Mom,

Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

 

Someone should have told him, Mom,

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, Mom,

I would still be alive.

 

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.

I'm becoming very scared.

Please don't cry for me, Mom.

When I needed you,

you were always there.

 

I have one last question, Mom.

Before I say good bye.

I didn't drink and drive,

So why am I the one to die?

 

I'm pretty sure a lot of you have seen this one...I've seen it all over, it was even in our town paper one day.

In this stories Harry is gay and all so is Draco. There is a lot of stories of Harry and Draco and one or two brought to tears.
