attack on the twin towers,
the news broadcasted the devastating tragedy.
-
i was born a year later.
-
parents,
devastated,

lost brother,
lost sister,
lost mother,
lost father,
lost close friends.
lost everyone.
-
moment of silence
-
-
-
-
to those who lost their lives,
waking up to what had seemed to be a normal day,
to go on duty for emergency services,
to crash that plane before it could even hit anything,
-
-
-
thank you.
-
-
-
-
we've changed our ways, haven't we?
-
er
-
-
you did.
-
-
-
i was supposed to be born
in new york.
-
they were going to live there.
-
-
-
yet after the attack,
-
days,
-
weeks,
-
months,
-
later they fled,
-
-
they left
-
-
for australia.
-
-
then they had me.
-
-
and it went downhill from there
