“Everyone lost a piece of themselves that day… I don’t see myself ever really getting that back”

“I am so far from peace, I don’t want to be, and I don’t want anyone to think that I am. I want them to know what it is like to live with this thing that no one remembers, but we live with every single day.”

This work is therapeutic but by no means peaceful, expressing the emotions I hide and battle as each year passes.
