 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Convict, a new day?


I want not this title that's given
it says nothing of the man that I am
it speaks only of mistakes once taken
choices that face every young man.
The road that I chose was confusing
so many signposts leading away
then choices with no education
lost somewhere in hell each new day.
Incarcerated, locked up and bleeding
my life disappearing with haste
each day a day for my judgement
each new day nothing but waste.
 Now many years have since passed by me
yet some eyes still view me the same
with a title that some still live by…
with a title…  I must be to blame??!!
