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
