Like any other day,
I woke up one September morn’.
The news would soon come,
I didn’t think my heart would be torn.

I flipped on the news,
To see a nightmare,
To see the towers collapse,
My country would be in despair.

What evil could do this,
To take many lives away?
Hearts are filled with mixed emotions,
On this very tragic day.
