#260 When are we honest

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/11/01

Yo. Who are you. I mean, who are you reallyIt's a question I've always approached somewhat queerlyLike, is this not me? Who I am each day?Am I not myself if I live life in a comfortable way?Yet I've heard it said, and heard it said sometimes by meThat most of the time in life what we say is untrustworthyWe have barriers, protections from a world always at warTrying to break us down and then break us down some moreSo we can't be honest. We can't speak our mind.Except when

#259 I am thankful

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/10/25

This list is not complete. But it has now been started.I am thankful that I was brave enough to give blood.I am thankful that I was so unaccustomed to pain that the whole experience sucked quite a lot.I am thankful that society doesn't dictate I have to remove my leg hair and that the word epilate is not in my regular vocabulary.I am thankful I never had diabetes, so don't have to inject myself regularly.I am thankful that people worked really hard on making diabetes a manageable problem, as

#258 Today sucked

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/10/18

Dear Diary, For me, today absolutely sucked.Some days suck because things don't go your way and you're down on your luck.This day was entirely my fault.And everyone was so nice about it. People were polite the entire day through.They had their smiles on their faces and were positive too.I helped put up Christmas decorations, I put tinsel on windowsI got my hair braided by a girl I didn't previously know.Most of these people didn't know the choice I had made.I am

#257 Hidden Layers

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/10/11

It's one of the laziest metaphors. And one I dislike the most.See, lots of things have hidden meanings and layers, right?And, like, onions have layers too, you know?So, "it was layered like an onion".So if I'm seeking to explain something deep and interesting and profound.Maybe, I should do that thing some justice.This world contains many wonders, not all of which are hiddenThough there is of course delight in finding secrets once forbiddenWhen you enter a new city you enter into

#256 The Vow

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/10/04

The VowDear LordI make this vow, as thanks for the Agape* you have shown meTo try to give back some love in exchange for you having known meSo, in the name of You I take Jesus as my witnessTo try to involve my faith in all of my businessTo not take worship lightly, yet not to consider it a choreTo be satisfied with my blessings, not always asking for moreTo by proud of my faith and not hide it in shameAnd accept, as a Christian, every act that I do is done in your nameI will take you in richer and

#255 Success

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/09/27

Let me sit you down. Let me be a little blunt.Let me take you aside and put up no front.Whatmakesa successful life?What would you say is reason enough for a meaningful stuff we claim to pursue does it seem honest and trueAnd look. I'm me and you're you through and throughWe have different goals in life and different things we want to doGuided by a mixture of morals and philosophy and fear and ambitionThat widen our scope or limit our missionI remember, when I was much youngerLeaving school

#254 Taste

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/09/20

You know that thing you think is awesome?The one that blows your mind, every time?Yeah. I tried it.And I think it's alright. Like, not bad, not at all! Just, well, alright.Here's what that doesn't mean - that it's any different to before.It's still the awesome thing that makes you smileJust a little bit, every time it crosses your mind.It simply means that, on this thing, we have a different taste.And I'll embrace the chance to let you try again.Help me sit in your shoesAnd I

#253 The Lifeblood Pumps

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/09/13

It's a conspiracy. But that doesn't make it any less true.Just because it's only known to a select fewIt defies all logic and knowledge and reasonHey! Did you know the Earth's orbit isn't what causes the seasons?I know I sound like a madman, and that I may well beBut please take a few seconds and listen to meMy statement is dramatic enough it may have given you pauseNow listen as I tell you the actual causeThere are pumps. They go way deep below the ground.Below where oil and

#252 The Debug

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/09/07

Everything is wrongYou know this. Every thing is wrong.The problem is insurmountable, the issues uncountableThat which you thought infallible is now not working. At. All.And you're trying to figure out whyMaybe it's the issue of the perfect stormWhere circumstances coalesce so the World is tornMaybe it's the one thing you never noticed beforeWorking so hard but couldn't take it anymoreMaybe it's in fact just a combinationOf one thing two things several locationsSo how you gonna

#251 The Roof of Friends

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/30

There is a joy I feel, residing under the roof of friendsThe feeling of a place well lived-in by othersThe extension of their self, to give you a place to restSomewhere secure. Somewhere safe. Somewhere with personality.I don't mind if the dishes aren't done. Or if it's a little dirtyI care that we can sit, and you stop being someone I used to knowThat you trust and value me enough to open your doorsTo offer me a favour, as I journey through timeLet us share a movie. A game. A story of

#250 Turning of the Season

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/23

Spring is promise and resolutionsIt's new life and bold solutionsIt's when Earth turns its face from the coldWhen the fresh story of the year starts to unfoldSummer, really, is all about the executionWhen any person will take any solutionWe're too warm and satisfied to care about dangerWe're happy to party and chat to a strangerAutumn, I feel, is growing cautionThe realisation things aren't always so awesomeThe knuckle down, the learning of a tradeThe realisation it's good,

#249 Modern Day Aids

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/16

It's tangible, this inhaler I hold in my handHow it affects my day, it affects my plansHow occasionally, I need to receiveA drug that helps me gasp and breathAnd my aid is simple, and hidden awayAllows me to cope with life my wayI don't get questions like those with a crutchAsking how it affects my life and suchOr those with glasses or a device in the earNecessary to help them see and hearIt's quite amazing, what we've managedWe can walk around perfectly fine with the aid of a

#248 Two Chances

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/09

Sometimes you don't get two chances.The sweetest moments in life? When you put it on the line.The go big go home go for glory go for it timeIt's the build up that often hurts you the most.The time you spend panicking prepping - when you're there you coastIf it goes wrong, it goes wrong. Time will pass.We've all had a time when we've fallen flat on our ass.Then you have to let go, there's no point in trying to dwell.Unless you enjoy putting yourself through hell.But, well,

#247 A Chance to Rest

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/02

This poem is not deep.It is not meant to be difficult.This poem is a chance to rest.To lay your head back.To understand some things don't have reasoning.To stop worrying, for a short while.This poem is a chance to rest.I know. You've been overly busy recently.People expect a lot of you. And you keep providing.Right now, in this instant, nothing is required.Empty your mind.This poem is a chance to rest.Because you've got difficult times ahead.Because no shelter is permanent.You must seize

#246 Back to the Past

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/01

Man, it's the super power of which we'd all boastThe one day-to-day that we'd value the mostWhat if, rather than being super strong or super fastYou could step back in time and alter the past?Currently, you take a retrospective intellectBut with respect can make no effectOn the mistakes you made, the time you mispokeWell don't be afraid, lets go for brokeBecause now you have a retroactive fact-of-the-matterWay to be active in the past, change the latterJust be careful, heed my

#245 My Best Man Speech

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/08/01

Dedicated to Beth and Joe. A very lovely couple, who I am honoured to know.(See the link for my pre-amble)I've always found best man speeches sort of weird.Because, even to the groom, as best man, you are at most the *second* best person here.Because the best is the bride who is BethAnd God Bless I wouldn't couldn't wish to be anything less than second-best.Because she's in first place. She's smart, creative, wonderful and beautiful too.I wish I looked so good, people paid me to

#244 A Gut Reaction

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/07/19

It may just be a passage to lead to the butt butI have a message you should trust your gutEven though this logic may seem insaneI often think it better not to trust my brainSo many times, without much reasoningI feel that “my sandwich might need some spicy seasoningMaybe I should buy this thing I don’t needMaybe I should do this fun misdeed”My brain says “no, you’re being unreasonableSome of these choices aren’t even feasibleThere may be some things that I don’t knowBut this choice should almost

#243 Make It Honest

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/07/11

Whatever you say about me behind my back, make it honest.Look, I know that I haven't been universally blessedI've done a whole lot of really stupid thingsI know my voicebox cracks somewhat when it singsI know that sometimes I seek to be the centre of attentionJust know that I honestly have the best reasonably good intentionsSo, if I do ever come up in conversation, for one reason or anotherFirstly, I'm happy I'm worth the time.Whether it's as a friend, a weirdo or a brotherOr

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/07/05

Lord you gave me gifts, Lord you gave me gifts,Lord you gave me more than I can ever wish forI'm trying to live up to all you've given me to live forEven though I may seem to just be demanding moreI'm thankful for them all, there's not a one to ignoreIf I'm to find a reason I was put here forI know you've gifted me, in so many waysYou've given me a lot of talents, given me a lot of daysBut it was never full blown, always just a sparkThat I had to develop with a little

#241 It happened in black and white

Harry Is A Poet ·

2025/06/28

There's a lot of detail in the world.A lot of colour filling in the gaps.There are advertisements in every space.There are words in every silence.He was lucky. He had the filter.When something happened,When a quick response was needed,It. Switched. On.Then the world would be clearThe easy path would be hereAnd he would instantly knowThe direction to goTo solve the questionTo make issues lessenTo stop things going wrongAnd turn the colour back onAnd then life was full again, of the unnecessary
