Subconscious

I don’t want to

disturb my subconscious

because when he awakes

he tends to sound pompous.

He makes me nervous

when I know he is around

for he laughs at me

as if I was some type of clown.

He says that nothing

I do is of any worth,

his caustic remarks

are all designed to hurt.

So, while he rests

I try to get through my day.

It is best for everyone

if I stay out of his way.
