"The Collapsing"

What I feel every 9/11.

"The Collapsing"

Seeing those buildings collapsing,

Urged me to start crying.

Knowing that many people died that day

Turned my stomach around like clay.

Police officers, Fire fighters, Soldiers, Women, Men, Children,

All innocent people who didn't deserve to die, died.

All of our hands were tied.

America was destroyed and left with no hope.

9/11 happened so fast

Like a match burning rapidly through a yard of rope.

Today it seems like every year we turn back to remember,

Remember the lives of those innocent people,

But it doesn't bring closure or changes anything,

Because every year is another year that we realize that their gone.

Author's Note

Don't misinterpret me, remembering isn't wrong, but when you constantly remind yourself that there was nothing you could do about it, you emotionally continue to torture yourself.

I love this poem Lesly.... I remember it was my junior year of high school and I wrote a poem about 9/11 my senior year that won some high school poetry contest... I don't remember the words in that poem but it was pure emotion. I was on the twin towers in July that year... my first vacation to New York so it was pretty crazy knowing I was just standing on one of the towers 2 months ago. Very good work I love the passion and the honesty in this write :)

Great write.I agree remember can be bittersweet sometimes. Frustrating knowing there is nothing you can do to change the outcome!
Go bless all the angels lost but not forgotten and the loved ones they left behind!
