Voice of Reason (Conscience)

 

I hear a voice inside my head

Whispering truths I know in my heart

At every turn I take this voice won’t let me be

Even in my sleep this voice follows me

Showing me my life in colored pictures

My own personal home movie

Choices you make there are consequences

Even when you feel no pain

Someone is hurting because of you

Selfish reasons for rationalized actions

Is your justification for your carnage of pain

Only you know in your heart

What keeps you up at nights

When others are at peace in sleep

Demons walk your soul.

(Sometime during the course of the day.  An ode to your conscience and the things that keep us up at nights.)
