Literature Text

I am the Twin Towers after the attack,
And I once stood tall, high above the clouds.
And the world has made it a goal to strike me down,
Crumbling to the ground.

Now, all you see is debris,
Shattered glass clinging onto the window frame.
I want you to restore my glass,
To when I was tall and when I had fame.
A poem I wrote to my teachers when they asked us what we were to the world. I used the Twin Towers as a metaphor of defeat and a loss of faith.
