 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

The darkness in man's shadow


Just another day to live through
nothing special…no one special beside me
yet somehow I still exist…?
The sun still shines when the sky is blue
rain still falls with clouds heavy and dark
but it means nothing special
cause somehow I just exist…?
I see children laughing with families
and inside… I smile, but it means nothing special
…to them I do not exist.
Like a shadow walking through humanity
seeing, but never holding
only touching at the fingertip
then slipping into nothingness
as nights darkness claims me once more.
I have become the darkness in mans shadow
staring out from his conscience
not wanting to be heard nor seen…
but always present as a reminder
of the darkness in the shadows.
