21 Years Later

The anniversary 

Of 9/11
Is technically
Now old enough

To fucking drink

In the country

It took place in
I still remember

Where I was
When it happened
English class
In a town I wanted
Nothing to do with

Coming from a school
Where I knew
Friends had 
Parents
Who worked at 
The pentagon
The pain I felt
That day
Not being able 
To be there for them
Indescribable
The pain 
Screaming at me
Was never ending
And it breaks my heart
To see where
21 years later
We actually are
