What I'M Looking For Poem by Dillon Gay
What I'M Looking For
As I roam through the corridor about
I will find it without a doubt
The thing that wants me the most
It is neither a vampire, werewolf, or ghost
You don't know what I'm trying to find
Because I don't know it in my own mind
I need to find it, I'll die if I don't
It's more than I need; a want
What I am looking for I lost long ago
A small gift from society' s little toe
It keeps me from doing wrong
And without it, I can't sing a song
It is my conscience you see
Which has a great importance to me
I finally see my conscience in the distance
It dreadfully fades in an instant

Hi Dillon! I really like this one. You are SO on target for many people with the line, because I don't know it in my own mind...more than a need'. I often question what has happened to people's consciences, too. Keep thinking, questioning and writing! :)
