My Conscience

My Conscience Sometimes I’m lead astray, Especially when your not here I scream “Shower me with sugar”! As your words fade and disappear MMM Burger King, Dairy Queen Then dauntingly you reappear I listen, I know better; But your stay is so short lived Sometimes you’re loud You yell “IM HERE, IM HERE”! Driving by the liquor store You fill me full of fear I turn up the radio, Ignoring you~ leave me alone Yet still you begrudge me a very cold and tasty beer I listen, lord knows I really try But sometimes it’s easier Ignoring the words you teach me to live by I hear you calling at me Like a teacher in second grade “PAY ATTENTION”!!!! I listen, lord knows I really try A Poem for the “ Who Am I” Contest
