9-11: Don’t Look Away
Editor’s Note: Since 9-11-2001, every anniversary on this day, its been incredibly difficult to express myself. Words just never come to me with ease and to be honest, most of those I see are already saying what is on my mind. For the most part, I simply become a hermit on this day wishing to speak to no one, especially speaking about my feelings on this day. It is a day that forever changed America, and forever changed me. Social media and the news serves as a constant reminder, a reminder I hate. All I want to do is simply “look away” on this day. But looking away is simply not the right thing to do. The reminder is good. It serves a purpose to turn the negative energy I feel into a positive. I had written this a while ago after an incident I was exposed to overseas. I don’t know how I found it today, and while many may not understand it, for me, it serves a purpose. I apologize for my poor attempt at poetry ![:)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_s9cWlBQM5rpGDtZIMNtDcoh99P3i5ppg2AL4zYUeBMEeSv1xzeGe2pDqvNElMtq-fypd_ZQLpsTYlt2CVvpR17I84_pVHGNiAuDT_-pOY_9T41GIDot_cCyx_I22hban7os3tA=s0-d)
Don’t look away
My eyes are tired
My mind is confused
I want to just look away
Buildings shattered
Bodies motionless
Chaos ignites
Don’t look away
