Poetry About Conscience

No one else saw what I chose not to say. The hallway emptied; evening locked the doors. Still, one small voice remained beside my own. It named the harm without raising its volume. By morning, truth had waited out my fear. Conscience is the witness we carry home.

Begin where certainty starts to thin. The hallway emptied; evening locked the doors. The ordinary carries a hidden pressure. It named the harm without raising its volume. We stay until the deeper pattern appears. Conscience is the witness we carry home.

No one else saw what I chose not to say. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Still, one small voice remained beside my own. It returns us to moral choice, guilt, responsibility, courage, truth, and the voice that persists in silence. By morning, truth had waited out my fear. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
