WARNING: This poem is about 9-11, it is sad and it may bring tears to your eyes and get you upset. In fact if you don't cry when you read this remembing those who died you may not feel emotion.
I stood there watching, hoping it was all part of a nightmare
seeing the building burst into fire as the plane hit it
I just stare, can't keep my eyes off of it
Those poor people trapped inside, no way out
People are now running, I hear women screaming for their children,
they are crying too, worried for their lives and only their lives
I start to run too as another plane just hit the other tower!
I glance behind me and see thick black smoke, it's so sufficating
I hear an explosion and run faster
there is now dust everywhere and I don't understand
It had to be from those who had perished on the planes
I can not take this any more!
A man rushes over to me and pulls me towards and abumlance
They give me oxygen but leave me to help those who are worse off then I
I cry as I watch people flinging themselves out of the buildings,
they don't want to die in fire, a burning flesh kind of way; instead they
want a quick way out of this miserable situation
I want to help them but I cannot,
I want to scream at the people who did this!
I want my mother and family to hold me tight
I just can't believe this happened, all of this on one horrible day
Author notes
This about 9-11-01 if you did not figure that out from reading. It is very sad. I have family in New York and I was only in 5th grade when this happened. And No I was not there.

Yes, this was sad. I did not cry, so maybe I have no emotion. LOL But I did feel your pain. Thanks for entering my contest. -
Thanks hun!
It was tough for me to write this. I have to remember those who gave their lives and my own family members (none got hurt but live in or around the city).
Thank you my sister for your comment
