I was sitting in school on that day in September,
It was the day all Americans soon would remember.
I watched the twin towers as they were hit by those planes,
And I watched everything around them burst into flames.
Everyone running and screaming in horror,
Not knowing what to do or what was in store.
Families were torn and loved ones were lost,
Some wanted revenge, no matter the cost.
All the lives that would never be the same,
Stood back and watched as the firemen came.
So much destruction, so much left undone,
On September 11, 2001.
