Lecture me once more about my inability to see outside of myself.
How I'm selfish for trying to be selfless.
Write a poem about your inability to see outside of yourself.
Convince yourself you aren't as self-centered as the rest of us.

He left the house with a sense of rage
not knowing that soon his world would change

Sitting at the station a call comes in
The turn of his life was about to begin

He arrived at his duty and starred at the sky
Frozen, in shock, he let out a sigh

People were screaming in fear for their lives
He stood and listened then held his hand high

with courage, He made his way into the building
Now wishing he didn't fight with his wife this morning.

He thought of his kids as the building began to shake
He now sheds a tear from his extreme heartache.

There was nothing he could do, his job was done
He knew that this building would weigh a ton

He sat in the stairwell and waited in misery
His thoughts in his mind were all he could see

He felt the train wreck coming down
His wife sat at home and heard the sound

Both of them left with a feeling of regret
This is the day we'll never forget
