 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759



No peace to be found in the hours of darkness
No matter how tired my mind seems to be
The horrors of life are always there to remind me
My mind is still trapped and finds no way to be free…

Freedom to sleep without waking so fearful
Having battled my demons through the hours of night
Knowing my strength cannot last forever
I know not how long I have strength for this fight?

Too many memories conflict and confuse me
Searching for a happiness that is always out of reach
Finding what pleases then wishing its destruction
Knowing below the smooth surface lies pain and deceit.
