Replying to a comment on:

i won't (Free verse) by elizabethann

they told us to remember september. they asked us to pray. they begged us to cry. i didn't. images of people jumping from inferno above, not below. we heard their bodies hit the ground they didn't want us to forget the sound. a human jumping from one hundred stories up was fodder for their specials. i couldn't mourn something that was just another headline. we had mixed emotions and not a soul to help. i ignored my pain i guess it was too hard for everyone else. they still run the specials reminding us of pain we try to forget and i won't shed a tear.
