 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

The man i was before




Life has become just memories of all the days that passed
now that time has claimed each moment as it's own
sitting here in the darkness before the sun shines brightly
looking through the veil of time to how I've grown.

Though time has often changed me and chose to rearrange me
the core of all I am… still remains
naïve so many call me but true to all before me
conscience will remain my greatest pain.

Regrets I have but many, have led me to my dreams
and the dreams I dreamt are dreams that I have earned
there have always been those that confuse me
tempt me in then just use me
but most are just a path to all I learned.

So now I look at life as memories of all the days that passed
and each day's a day that time will just add more
some may still confuse me maybe some will use me
but I will always be the man I was before.
