Everything in life effects you, it might just take u a while to realize it has

I remember when I woke up to the radio, 

Telling me a story of deep tragedy and sorrow. 

I didn't understand what had really happened, 

I soon found out my safe world had ended. 

I remember walking to the TV still in a daze, 

So confused even my house was a maze. 

Finally I made it and was so startled to see, 

Images of terror in the country next to me. 

I remember not believing all this was real, 

Anad not being able to describe how it made me feel. 

A terrorist attack is what they called it, 

It was then and there I just had to sit. 

I remember the people trapped up top, 

And only wishing that all this would stop. 

Everyone running to try and help rescue, 

Little did they know it was the last thing they'd do. 

I remember seeing the building crash down, 

Only being able to watch with a frown. 

My heart felt as heavy as lead, 

Only feelings, not thoughts, were running through my head. 

I remember when my fears became ever so real, 

When I realized I had wounds that would never heal. 

My life had changed and made me afraid, 

I went inside myself and that's where I stayed. 

I remember not thinking I was effected this much, 

Until I watched a movie and felt it's gruesome touch. 

It was so different than it had been before, 

When I watched it earlier I had not felt this sore. 

I remember being scared and seeing the past as the present, 

The art of war no longer an ancient event. 

Could this be true is what I thought, 

Tears are what this idea brought. 

I remember when I woke up to the radio, 

Telling me a story of deep tragedy and sorrow. 

I didn't understand what had really happened, 

I soon found out my safe world had ended, 

And that my old life would forever be faded.
