 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

My eyes only.


What I see is for my eyes only.
What you see, is just for you.
I can never choose how you might view me…
I can only be… what you choose.
I have tried to be all you wished for.
I have fought hard in your good name.
I have stood tall and been counted…
Yet still I am to blame.
What is it that I must give you?
I have given my heart and soul.
So hard have I fought my demons…
But here I am… all alone.
There is so much that is lost inside of me.
So much more I could have been.
My dream was to change the world…
And all the little bits, in between.
But what you see is a crippled man,
Crippled by all he dreamed.
Now i see with my eyes only…
the naive fool I've always been.
