Conscience

I’ve been stuck on the back of your mind for years Trying to develop a pattern that is within your thought process See you were my first project.. Not that I had any other options, but I was kind of indirectly assigned to you Funny thing is that you might not ever know because I have different identities You see I’ve been trying to develop a relationship with you Something sort of secretive because if I told you then your mind would not be able to comprehend I mean your mind is my best friend so I guess that makes me part of your cerebrum In a way I AM a part of your thought process Sometimes you meet me, and sometimes you don’t What I’ve done is watch your actions grow but not you yourself Trying to play (beanie mean my-knee Moe) with your emotions to see which ones to play tag with Your decisions expand but your reasoning seems to diminish over time You tend to act upon emotion but not motion itself See I’ve been meaning to tell you that I’ve watched all of your mistakes Desperately SCREAMING at you so that I can prevent another one from happening I’ve been trying to stop the influences that bring you in circles……. I am the one who’s been telling you right from wrong and sometimes left…you between the ups and downs My voice has been keeping you from committing verbal suicide, and going on a mental pause It is my voice that has been stopping you from messing with those people, in that place, with those things, at the same price with the pace of a million nothings It is I who has been telling you from the start to never trust what you can’t believe in but also act within reason But yet like always you ignore me… You neglect my advice and the paths that I try to lead you on You tell yourself things as if to mimic my existence Often times you would feel good about your decisions but I will always be knocking on your door You have been close to reaching a point where everything makes sense Where you have analyzed things and pick them apart so nothing seems out of the ordinary But you ignore that little sense of reasoning and then dust it away with ignorance I am........... your conscience .
