Do you ever feel let down and confused about the behaviour of someone who has hurt you? Do you ever struggle to piece together the reasons why you have been hurt? I have come to the conclusion that there are some people who simply do not have a conscience. They have no idea of the effect their behaviour has on their victim(s) and they do not care. This is hard to understand for those of us who do care. Should we feel pity for those people who do not have a conscience?
No Conscience
How do I speak to you
When you have no conscience?
It is impossible for you to hear me
You might hear the words
But I may as well be silent
Go quietly into the night
You feel no guilt
No sadness threatens to ruffle your peace
But alas I feel the guilt
And longing for love lost
Those two stand strong
Resting heavily on my mind
But your mind is free
You cannot see
What you have done to me
Can you?
Because you have no conscience
And hence, I am tense with fear
Why can’t you hear?
If you could hear
And if my words touched your soul
Wouldn’t that make us both whole?
Think how appealing in terms of healing
Our lives would be
If you can hear me

I believe that sometimes people are born without the ability to feel guilt, that they’re brain is underdeveloped or they are just simply built differently. It is truly difficult to understand though. I don’t think I ever truly could.
Your poem is very well written. 🙂

french_vanilla13 – How right you are!! Thank you for taking the time to comment and that you think my poem is very well written. That’s high praise indeed and knowing that my writing resonates with others makes it all worthwhile. Not the pain of course! But the fact that as a result, others appreciate what you have to say as a result. 🙂

Wow, this in fact was brilliant. I think conscienceness is developed at some time in our lives. If it’s not developed, our primitive instincts takes over. Think why some many people see someone on the street that’s homeless they just walk over them. Your conscience has to be trained to do something that’s not primitive like. Great sequel conscienceness vs. oblivion, right? I’m really digging these poems.
