I won't give up

Bleh, so I did stay home today
meaning i did miss those tests..
of course, didn't tell my uncle that...
he wouldn't of let me if I had..
and I really do feel like crap...

The Terror That Shook America

Well, I decided, since I have the time and stuff, and I should do some sorta memorial to it...I'm going to write about how I found about Sept. 11.

It was a coupld of weeks after I had started my freshman year in high school. For some reason or another, I had forgotten to turn my alarm clock on, and was oversleeping. Next thing I know, my grandma is shaking me, telling me a disaster had happened in our country. Now, while I groggily got out of bed, I wasn't awake enough to really comprehend what she had just told me. But then I entered her room and watched the plane go into one of the towers. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach, I knew this was bad. As we heard about more and more attacks, I tried to convince them to let me stay home. I was scared of my wits. I live near LA, what if they attacked here next? But I went, and tried to pay attention to my classes. But everyone was talking about it. The only time I've ever seen my friend Biz cry was that day. And during history class, when we started really talking about it, I started crying too. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity, I got home. And as soon as I did, I went online, trying to make sure everyone I knew (online or in real life) was ok. Luckily, they were. I talked about with many people, and the more we talked, the more it hurt. For days later, I wouldn't even turn on the tv, hearing about it so much just depressed me more and more.

On Sept . 12, 2001 I wrote a poem which documented my reaction to those attacks, and I'd like to share that with you as well.

The terror that shook America


Planes crashed

On a suicide mission

For this so-called

Holy war

Buildings collapsed

Within the flames

People jumped

So they could die quicker

Thousands of people

Have most likely lost their lives

The whole nation

Has been filled with fear

They call it

The terror that hit New York

I call it

The terror that shook America

And now...Song Quote time!
Can you guess who sings this song?

"And I can't bare to see, what I've let me be, so wicked and worn"
"I've lied inside myself for hours, and watched my purple sky fly over me"
"Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you"
"I'm down to one last thing, and I'm starting to scare myself"
"The apple falls from the tree, she's rotten and so beautiful"
"Asleep, Asleep, I fall asleep, I'm never waking up, I wish I could accept me but I think I'm giving up"
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be"
"Spinny round spinny round, I'm falling down"
"She's been everybody else's girl, maybe one day she'll be her own"
"That I would be loved, even when I numb myself"
"Since I was born, I started to decay, now nothing ever ever goes my way"
"Yesterday I cried, must of been relieved to see the softer side"
"I've been talking in my sleep, pretty soon they'll come to get me"
"I'm gunning down romance, though it never did a thing for me, cause heartache and misery, ain't nothing but a tragedy"
"Lying away, watching the sunrise, and how the birds will sing, as i count the rings, around my eyes"


they all kinda fit my emotions of late...
