Have you seen me?
I am always there, right beside you.
Sometimes you even shush me,
demanding my silence when you shouldn't.
I really wish the best for you.
That's why I am here.
I watch what you watch and learn what you learn,
and hope what you hope.
But have you seen me?
As time goes by, I am less and less.
My very purpose becomes twisted,
I cannot fight it.
Sometimes you listen to me,
but more often I am quieted,
more often I am losing my true sense,
my true identity.
Now I find myself sleeping more.
I no longer watch over you.
I'm sorry, but you don't seem to want me anymore.
Even though I've protected you for so long.
The world has done it's job,
it has stolen mine.
It has replaced me and moved into the very spot I once lived,
the very spot I once thrived inside you.
Because now you've forgotten,
I used to be a part of you.
Maybe someday you'll dust me off again.
I can only wait.
I am sorry if I used to be such a bother,
really I only had what's best for you in mind.
So now I'll wait for the day,
the day when you remember me,
your conscience.
