I haven't posted for a while, so I figured today was a great day to do so. I am proud to be an American. I was 8 years old when the towers hit and I still remember it vividly. I feel I lost my own innocence that day, so I think the title almost has a double meaning for myself and for those who were killed. Please read this little poem and remember those who died. I thank you.
This is dedicated to those who died that day and their loved ones. God bless you and I keep you in my prayers.

Innocent
Gone but not forgotten
Became a little ode
The thousands that lost their lives
That never will come home.
For those many of us
Who lost someone they love
These words are not worthless,
They give us something to prove.
Our loved ones will never come back
And we will never forget
Like trains on a track
Were derailed, but then we reset.
In a way we got justice
But revenge won't change a thing
All from a man's deranged malice
Karma came around full-swing.
All our horror and anger
Changed into sadness and grief
Every year it gets dimmer
But time is still a thief.
I still haven't moved on
Much like others in my place
The city dead-set on alteration
But I can't keep up pace.
We were all innocent
Never had a wage in their fight
Pure hatred led to abolishment
They blew out my flickering light.
Although it's been a decade
For this horrid anniversary
Her death doesn't seem to fade
Seems like just yesterday.
Even though we're all united
And together we'll mourn today
Tears and prayers won't leave us adjoined
But tomorrow will be another day.
Thanks for reading my short little poem. I hope you enjoyed it and that you'll review. Gone But Not Forgotten. God Bless America. *heart*
