Poetry of Stuart Gray

Conscience

I am the whisper that floats in the breeze,
that makes you stand still and face your unease.
I am the shadow that crosses your soul,
the darkness that stops you assuming control.
I am the voices you hear late at night ,
you wake and you search
but they're just out of sight.

I am the reason you no longer smile,
you turn up your mouth but
your eyes reflect trials.
I am your pain and I am your sin,
you can never escape from your 
conscience within.
