Conscience

You never leave me alone
You dog me every day
My conscience
You should stop drinking pop
You need to exercise more
Stop eating meat and eat peanuts instead
You need to call you mother and eat supper with her
You need to give blood
You should get a safer job
Clean your floor!
Quit being so shy!
Get married and make some babies!
Volunteer at a food bank
Give money to starving kids in Africa
Why don't you take a vacation conscience
Why don't you leave me alone so I can enjoy some peace
But you stay
You never leave
I can't shut you up
Ever!
My conscience

About this poem:
I saw a twilight zone episode where this guy is talking to himself in the mirror. The good conscience wins and gets out of the mirror and quits his job as a member of the mob and goes to get a job and a wife.

Joseph1112, thanks for your comment. It would be nice to take a break from the worries, maybe that's why people do drugs. I just watch a lot of tv and listen to a lot of music and comedy. I bought myself a dvd player for my car, enjoy my breaks way more now.cheers
