Lest We Forget

Fallen: 9/11

I just want to put something down that we may remember, and ponder, and think of the fallen and lost on that day.

Balloons by MandoPony

So many years,
So many dark memories,
So many fears,
We've now put to ease.

Pain makes you do things
You never thought you could do.
Is this all real?
Or just déjà-vu...

But now the party's over,
Now the guests are gone.
It's already past our bedtime,
It's already almost dawn.

Just like balloons
We soar on our own!
Finally free
From the pain of our home!
And just like balloons
That no one will hold.
Free from the truth
That no one will know.

Just little children,
Not at all strange.
Until the lights went out,
And everything changed.

Alone and afraid
For oh so long,
Wondering what did we do wrong?

'Cause now the party's over
And everyone is red.
I feel sick to my stomach.
Or am I sick in my head?

Just like balloons
We soar on our own!
Finally free
From the pain of our home!
And just like balloons
That no one will hold.
Free from the truth
That no one will know.

All of the pain,
Far in the past.
Yet echoes of screams
Forever will last.

Just like balloons
We soar on our own!
Finally free
From the pain of our home!
And just like balloons
That no one will hold,
Free from the truth
That no one knows,
No one knows...

Its 9/11, one of the saddest dates in history.
My mom, as part of Kappa Delta, her sorority, had a Little Sister.
They ended up fighting cause my mom couldn't go to her wedding, because her flight was cancelled. The relationship was ruined.

Please take a moment to think about what happened, and pondered on the events that took place that day.

Solsticewing, out.
