Struggling through one day at a time
Defeating those who offended us with crime
Reading the letters that bring us to tears
Seeing their photos help with the fears
Longing to hear the last words that you said
Hanging on with determination and dread
Here to make the struggles disappear
It’s only the pops and bangs that I fear
A gun in one hand my pride in the other
In the twin towers was that of my mother
Feeding off the water and bread
In darkened pit holes lays there a bed
Family and friends I fight for today
Since nine eleven took them away
I don’t believe that they all deserve to die
To see tots on the ground I can’t help but to cry
Afraid of what’s to come with the sun
I wonder if tomorrow ill regret what ive done

This was a sad poem and it touched my heart. Reminding me of how everyone who helped in the line of duty deserves a lot of praise. Good luck in the contest and thank you for entering.

Though I really like your piece of writing, I have to agree as to why this is in an erotica contest?!
But since I am here, and before I remove it, I will comment.
Fom experience, I have learned not to regret the things we have done. It doesn't get us anywhere. Some things may have been mistakes, but there are reasons for the things that happen or the things we do. There is a lot of emotion to this piece. Well written.
