My Conscience

MY CONSCIENCE It troubles me more than occasionally It affects me deeply I feel strongly I love deeply I think always of how I affect The people around me It tires me Frequent assessments of my actions Lumbers me Slowing me down Constraining me Making me think before I act I fence sit a lot The law of unintended consequences Causes me not to rush I pander and question everything My mind acts as a sentry Assessing all of my actions Guiding and controlling me I don’t feel free
