Conscience

I am to blame that’s what she opines!
I want to give in to my conscience.
It says I am innocent as a child in mother’s lap
It’s certainly not my fault it’s a mistake or mishap!
She is afraid of the society but I am not
And I am afraid of dirty lies God thanks a lot!
She is cruel like a stone no plight makes her cry
She has wasted too much tears now her eyes are dry! 
The words that I keep in mind like a pearl of shell
She understands it well but makes my life a hell!
