 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Few of the many know me


So many eyes staring back at me
asking questions… why?
It seems I always let them down
and then bid them all goodbye.

Why could I not be the one
that conquered all their foes?
the one that always gave his all
and set their lives aglow.

Why did I have to be the one
that failed at every turn?
the one that always walked away
and failed in life to learn.

So many eyes staring back at me
but am I really the one they see?
they all know my name as the one to blame…
but so few of the many know me.
