The following poem is 100% true, if this even was too traumatic for you, I suggest not reading this; otherwise, enjoy!
I Saw 9/11 (In a Premonition)
On the night of September 10th, 2001
I saw, with my very eyes,
A premonition of the 9/11 tragedy.
The dream began with me in a very big city.
It wasn't Houston, but somehow, I knew where I was.
I saw people looking up at the sky,
I looked up with them, and while looking,
I noticed two towers; though I couldn't quite remember
Why I'd felt as if I knew where I'd seen the towers before,
I ignored their presence and focused on the sky.
Finally, two airplanes fly by and the people cheer madly
At the sight of them. Since the people had seen
the airplanes fly by safely, which seemed to be what they'd been
waiting for, they continued doing whatever they had been doing before.
Suddenly, one of the planes crashes into the left tower,
People begin screaming, cussing, yelling, panicking, running,
No one seemed to know what was happening or what to do
Then the second plane hits the tower on the right
There is more panic, more chaos, more pain and suffering
People start jumping out of the towers,
some as high as 20 stories, maybe more.
Eventually both towers collapse in a pile of ash
And onto the ground, causing debris to spread all over the whole city
By now I can feel myself struggling to try to wake myself up
But just before I do, I saw, with my very eyes
The face of Osama Bin Laden, who was laughing.
Laughing like an insane but proud madman
I finally wake up, my heart is beating so fast.
I forget about it, until the next day,
When around 8:00 AM CST, my dream becomes reality.
Words cannot describe how I felt that dreadful day
Guilt, shock, sorrow, sadness, grief
Many emotions came to me.
I cried all day that day
For I'd seen, with my own eyes,
The tragedy of 9/11 before it even happened.
But I couldn't stop it.
For days, I felt like I didn't deserve to live
Because I watched many innocent people die,
While I was about 2000 miles away, maybe more,
Safe and sound from all harm.
Sometimes I wonder if I should've called the FBI
And told them about my dream.
But part of me also wonders
Whether they would've even believed me,
A mere 14 almost 15 year old girl.
All I know is simply this:
I saw the tragedy of 9/11 in a premonition
On September 10th, 2001
And it'll continue to haunt me,
For the rest of my life,
Until the day I die.
