9/11

Author's note: In honor of 9/11 I have decided to make a poem based off of that day. My poem will be a free verse poem, so I can put more emotion into my poem. I am focusing on the content of my piece, because if I have bad content then I will have a bad poem. I hope you enjoy.

 I slowly walk through the flames to the window and try to look out at the world,
but all I see is black fog trying to break through the fragile glass to come and swallow me up.
I feel a tear slowly fall down my face thinking that that will be the last thing I see in my life.
I continue to stare at it and watch it starting to eat up the glass,
suddenly I think to myself, 'Is this what my life is? Just a big black fog that ruins people's lives?'
This thought keeps running through my mind, I try to shake it off but I just can't.
Slowly I feel my body take control over my mind and breaks open the window to let the evil in.
As it swallows me up I lose my footing and break the rest of the glass and the rest of the fog flows into the room and picks me up off of my feet and carries me out the window, where it drops me to fall.
I keep my eyes close as I fall, but I try to put my feet under me.
I fall and fall until I can hear peoples cries and screams.
When the screams and cries became so loud I think they are falling right next to me I open my eyes and I hear a crunch and then   everything becomes-
black.
