It was a perfect day, The sky was blue, No clouds in the sky, Promising and new,
I worked at the world trade center, Or twin towers as they say, Gorgeous buildings, Gorgeous day,
As I walked in, I was greeted kindly by friends, So many friendly people, A never ending happy strand,
As I got there I sat, Lots of work to do, Until I heard something strange, Something new,
It was 8:46am, Who knew, It was 9/11 A horrific day, A day that lost good people, A day that we all wanted to go away,
But I didn't know, That as I thought, A plane would crash into the towers, Leaving me trapped at the very top,
The force was shaking, I fell to my knees, Smoke covered the floor, I couldn't see,
What just happened, I thought to my self, Was it a jet or a plane, I needed help,
I was scared, Scared out of my mind, I wanted to live, Not to die,
I had so much to live for, I was so very young, On 24, and working, Why had everything gone so wrong,
I crawled to the window, And opened it up, I saw a plane wing, And lots of black smoke puffing up,
As I stood there, Other people came to my side, And when they saw what I saw what I saw, They fell to their knees and began to cry,
I looked, Shocked, Scared, Looking down at the world, Made me feel unwell,
I slowly reached into my pocket, And grabbed my iPhone, Called my mother, And said, I might not be coming home,
My voice was shaky, I couldn't speak, It was so hot, I could feel the heat,
My mother cried, And switched on the TV, But she cried even more, When she thought she saw me,
Hanging out the window, Waving a white flag, Crying for help, Then dropping a bag,
I said I love you one last time, And hung up the phone, Listening to my mother cry, Was far to hard, Knowing I was going to die,
I hung out the window, Breathing fresh air, Remember life, All the memories I've made there,
I wasn't scared, I knew it would be fine, I guess it was just my time,
Many people jumped, But not me, I waited, And lived life, Not happy, But at peace,
I loved everyone, I truly did, I just don't want you to take life for granite,
Because maybe one day, When you least expect it, Your life may stop, Like mine did,
Live it to the fullest, Enjoy everyday, Because we only borrow life, Until god takes it away,
