Septermber 11

I went to school that day, It was just another day, Nothing special, nothing unique, Just the 11th of September. I was five, in kindergarten I…I think it was snack time, I had a juice. When the shouting started down the halls, The TV flickered, and turned on And I trembled in my seat. I was confused, I was scared, As the towers blown up in smoke School ended early…I think. We sat at home, The same thing still on, And I cried. I didn't know them, No did I really care, This frightened me. I never liked scary movies, And I didn't understand this. Ten years have passed by, And it's the 11 day of September once more. I sit…at home (It's a Sunday you know?) And I watch, I see pictures, I've seen videos, And they make me shiver. Those men…those women Those people! It was just another day for them, I imagine, Just a day of work. It makes me wonder… Whose child will never know their parent/s? Whose spouse will never say I love you once more? Which adult will never say goodbye? I remember… A boy, he sat next to me. Saying his dad was there, a firefighter. I remember…. Watching the scary 'show' Not being able to turn away. I understand. So every September, I understand, Are you okay? I know not a person, who was there, And for that I am grateful, yes I am. But I cry, and I pray Those passengers on that plane, Those workers who just went to do their jobs… Those families who won't be whole. And though I may not know you… or knew them I cry. Because it took me awhile, See I had to grow up. But… I understand now I really do.

You see...

I'm grown up now.
