Resilient

Knock me down, I will get up again.
Destroy me with words, I am still here.
Deny me, blank my existence, if you can,
no matter what you do, I still appear.

Resilient I am, with you till the end,
looking at you from behind the eye.
Wherever you go, near or far, here or there,
I am bugging you, as you wonder why?

I am your conscience so you cannot hide,
the inner voice that niggles with guilt deep inside.
