Conscience

Who listens to the depth of one's feelings?

Comprehending the struggle that goes on.

Each of us searches to find a pathway;

A voice to link our inner selves beyond.!

Confidence we seek in conversation;

Strength varies in the nature of the topic.

Trust, or the lack of, is the greatest problem!

Reactions of others frighten the most.

How do we find the bridge that will carry,

Our messenger travelling unarmed?

Welcome hospitality expected;

Warmth and compassion is what we want!

Inner self is inner struggle; Uncertainty!

Voices within answer and question progression.

Failure requires re-assurance, direction.

A mentor knows our pathway and leads us.

We search the by-products of our lives,

Friendships are formed to bind us securely.

Acceptance of those who try not to judge;

Challenge our growth! Listen sincerely!

The world is a maze of pitfalls!

Serious and savage the players;

Intent on power; Not on glory;

Where respect and fairplay lack conscience.
