THE ATTACK

Hi, my name is Janine Susag and I'm fourteen years old. Shortly after 9.11.01, I wrote this poem to express my feelings towards what had happened. Now I pass it on to you so that other people can view it and see that I understand.
Always and Forever,

Janine Susag, 14

By Janine Susag

I watched the unbelievable scene in despair
Listened to the screams that filled the eerie morning air
It seemed as if it was all a horrific story
And all I could do was watch and worry

I shuddered as I watched the planes crash
Creating in each building a great huge gash
I looked at an old picture of the towers proud and tall
Then shuddered again as I watched them fall

This wasn't the end of the horrible scene
Not the last thing I will have seen
Soon there were people jumping into death's arms
And others rushed to medics to escape all harm

I sat down on the ground, eyes glued to the screen
Wondering who did this, who could be so mean?
I wished that there was someway I could help
But knew that there wasn't, I was too young to help

I never thought the US would be attacked
We were invulnerable; could not be harmed
Though the number missing is more each time counted
America has hope, for we have united
