September 11th
An explosion piercing straight through my heart.
The plane crashing into the building.
It's just the same.
Seeing those people suffer.
Those who sacrificed their lives jumping out the windows.
It causes me pain to see such things.
I've never witnessed such a tragedy as this before.
This must be put to an end.
Can't we just cease all the battles?
No more bombs, no more attacks.
If this were to be no longer, then no longer would I shed tears.
Can't we all just live in harmony?
