Do not ignore me
For when I speak
It is of logic,
truth,
and wisdom
~~~~~
No one listens
though they'll be sorry
They don't believe in me
An inner conscience
But they should
For there is one
you know
~~~~~
I am she
I can say she
since I am very much alive
inside of all
~~~~~
You may think
certain people
have no conscience
But they do
It's just that
they have me tucked away
Surrounded by evil thoughts
and deeds
In some dusty corner
of their being
~~~~~
I am always trying to escape
But I have to wait my chance
I guarantee you I will
Sooner or later
Hopefully it won't be too late
And they will listen
~~~~~
All have hope though
Even you...
If you're ever unsure
or just lonely
Think of me
I will be there
I can be
the best friend you ever had
just given a chance
~Try me~
