 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Best forgot?


Someone once told me the world could be mine
I could become all things
though the future is blind.
They told me of great things that mankind achieved
and some of these great things
that helped to make me.

But no one ever taught me of the heartache life brings
fighting through a jungle
just to hear the morning sing.
Nor spoke of the passion that burns deep inside
when the world is spinning wildly
having nowhere to run and hide.

So many things have been told me, so many things have been learnt
like playing around with fire
will often leave you burnt.
Life is one long lesson… which you'll learn or learn not
and as you're growing older
you'll know… if best forgot?
