My Conscience by jaidor(op):
I wrote this poem some couple of days ago however I posted it here to seek for your constructive responses. Pls enjoy

MY CONSCIENCE

I have a bosom friend
whom I have never seen in my entirety.
He has been there for me all my life,
even when I cry and when I laugh.
Yet I have never had a glimpse of how he looks.

Though he has been invincible to me,
but I unequivocally feel his companionship
as he often visits me.

His name is CONSCIENCE!

Sometimes he meddles into my affairs,
he besieges me even when I feel like being alone.
Sometimes he makes me feel embittered
as he often judge me.

When I have succeeded in giving everyone a false impression,
that I am innocent and above suspicion,
he visits me and triggers me to have an introspection,
then he finally lambastes me for my transgression.

He is capable,
to make hold me culpable
for my cruelness.

Sometimes he renders me very shambolic,
and could make me confess my vices,
even in public.

I tried to stay aloof,
But it seems unviable
as he is sent from above.

Oh! dear Conscience,
forgive me for my ungratefulness,
now I know how much you’re worth in my life,
for you are my upholder.
Oh! I remember,
How you often make me feel inwardly bitter, just so I could be better.

Though sometimes you treat me like your puppet, but now I realize you are more that a friend, you are like my prophet.
You’ve revitalized my morals and often make me amend,
just so I could be a step near being perfect.

Harkening to your words
was so important to heal my heart and soul,
for if it weren’t for you,
What would I have become?
A heartless and cruel being I reckon.
Thanks for being my beacon.

My conscience.

Your comments would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
