Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Where were you when I was burning to ash?
Where were you when I stared death in the face?
Where were you when I walked into the north tower?
Where were you when I sat at my desk, typing, like usual?
Where were you when the nose of the plane hit my desk
Where were you when the cinder block crushed my leg and the smoke suffocated me?
Where were you when I was with my co-worker Fleeing for our lives down the stairs?
Where were you when the building fell on me?
Where were you when I held my best friends body in my arms?
Where were you when I tried to escape to the south tower, only to find there was no south tower?
Where were you when I was rushed to the hospital with 3rd degree burns and smoke inhalation?
Where were you when I almost died?
Where were you on one of the most terrifying days in American history?
Where were you in September 11, 2001 at 8:46.40am?
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
