Am I Going to Die Today (9/11)

Shake. Crash.
Loud Noises.
Smoke and Ash
I can barely breathe.

Am I going to die today?

The floor starts to crumble
The ceiling starts to crack.
The walls begin to rumble,
Everyone starts screaming.

Am I going to die today?

Smoke, Black Smoke
Thicker than molasses,
I'm hacking and I choke,
What just happened?

Am I going to die today?

All of the sudden we fall
Down, Down, Down,
Rubble, desks, and all,
Pain. Pain.

Am I going to die today?

I can't breathe
There's ceiling on my chest
And i can't feel the rest
of my body.

I think I'm dying today.

I was supposed to stop at the store
We were out of milk.
I don't think that's happening anymore.
We won't get out alive.

I'm going to die today.

What was my daughter wearing
As i was walking out the door?
I can feel my skin tearing.
I try to picture her face.

I'm going to die today.

Who will tell my husband
To pick up Grace from school?
He's so strong and loving,
but i don't think he'll move on.

And i'm going to die today.

Other people cry
Some people have stopped.
I think i'm about to die,
Just like the rest.

I'm starting to die today.

Please tell my family I love them
And not to worry
I'll kiss their faces again
When i see them in heaven.

I'm dying today.

God, please take me,
It hurts so bad
Please take my body,
Heal my mortal pains.

I'm dying today.

It was such a beautiful morning
On my drive to work
Then it was crashing and scorching
I start to close my eyes.

I died today.
But it was such a beautiful morning.
