The Thing You Hear

The little thing inside you
The thing that gives you second thoughts
The thing that tells you what to do
The thing they call your conscience

It sits on your shoulder watching over you
It keeps you from doing wrong
It tells you to think about the after effect
It’s the thing that tells you to keep going

It’s in your heart, mind, and soul
It will be with you till the very end
Through thickness and thin, good times and bad
It’ll never leave you even if you think it has

The something inside, there for you to listen to
The voice you hear is smarter than you think
The thing inside you is more familiar than you think
That thing inside of you is more like you than you think
That is because the thing you hear is well… you
