Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up at 6:30 in the morning on September 11th and I went out into my living area and my mom had the news on. It showed the twin towers falling. Right at that moment in time my heart sunk to the floor. It did not feel real. It felt almost like a horrible nightmare, that u could never wake up from. And then I saw people jumping from the buildings and I was like oh my gosh. I was very thankful that none of my relatives live in NY. I would be heartbroken if I lost any of them. I would be in great sadness. Which I still am for those who had their lives taken away. I wrote this poem about 911.
