I Am Free

This is a poem that I wrote for my World Lit class::

I Am Free
By Carey Bustard

As I sat in my office chair
I realized I had forgotten
To turn off my curling iron.

I pulled out a file
In the cabinet by my desk,
Opened it to read
To see which argument was best.

As my mind began
To work this out,
A plane hit
And no one knew what was about.

The tower went up
Flames were everywhere.
People were screaming.
I grabbed my purse to get out of there.

But all to late
I boarded the elevator
Not knowing that
It was there I would meet my fate.

Two Towers fell.
The World was shocked
Not knowing what to do and
For most, it became a living Hell.

Not for me.
I was safe,
And sound,
Where Streets had no name,
Where I was Free.
