 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

geishacountrypoetpoetry759
To be a man…?
 
Sadness breaks then overwhelms me
I feel I have no place left to go….
The walls come crashing down around me
Old memories come, then leave me cold.
 
It’s hard to fight against all that haunts me
When all I am is questioned more
I have no answers that can make a difference
Every error and mistake is scored.
 
Most days life seems to pass by quietly
I rush to smile whenever I can
But the older I get the more I question
Just what it means to be a man?
