Conscience

You open the book for me,
And put words in my mouth,
And before I can mouth them,
You make me forget too.
Like the pictures you draw,
And patterns you make me see,
And before I can match,
You dissolve them too.

Choice isn’t easy.
Nope,
Not with you around.
Not without you either.

    I am wondering what made you to write this, like from where these words came……….
    I am copying this one also………. :)

    Yeah I know. I have some of these people in my life. But I guess being with them is a better choice than being without !!
