 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Life’s colours



 



Am I just this man… a broken man



now no more than an empty shell?



Have I lived my dreams… lived out each scream



each day it’s getting harder to tell?



The talons of light still claw at my mind



the shadows are all that I know



I can see the sun shining… lovers out dining



but the emptiness I’m feeling still grows.



There is nowhere to hide from all that I feel



there is nowhere to hide from the day



the night time just surrounds me in darkness



and hides all of life’s colours away.



My mind just a whirlpool of all that has been



I have found no solace in time…



all I have lost with nothing worth gained



if there was guilt then that guilt was mine.



I carry on each day hoping that life will bring change



something positive that I can hold in my heart



I am truly so tired of fighting to be understood



tired of this life and my part.
