The hitchhiker - A poem with a surprise ending 



 Brilliant,  witty and stubborn 
you make me laugh 

I'm intrigued ,I'm imbedded ,you provide me perspective 

We sit alone a lot just you and I 
My constant , as things , they just pass by

 If you have ever felt used , a little neglected 
Hear  me when I say , you are highly respected 

To you I bring scenarios,  in a need to decipher 
It is to you I turn to , my terminal hitchhiker

 In moments we scream ,I just want to be FREE!

All you truly want are things to be the way YOU deemed they should be ,
I long to understand you ,the way you understand me 

Amidst chaos and  confusion, the places with no sense
 Your  intuition prevails and provides me a feeling of deepness 

I  place blame at your door , though the choices where mine
But you KNEW,  how it would end ,
warn me louder next time !

In every war , if I fall , you fall too
We are united , committed to a vision ,
the one WE see to be true 

You discover me in the dark , vindication and doubt 
You’re words  placed me there , yet you help me get out

 We embark on adventures , experiences and lessons 
Paths that open doors , leading  to more questions 

How much of this is real , what determines a  fact
Did we make the right choices , should we have even chosen to act

 A sickness , a cure , my ally in distress
 Please spare me the gut wrenching feelings a little less 

Relentless you are with data and requests to retrain 
It all just becomes a blurry accumulation for us to maintain 

Once  you input something ,there's no button ,undo 
Why must you always make me face the things that we both already know to be true 

But from you there is no escape , I need you for life 
For guidance , to function and see wrongs from  right 
Never to be alone in the unforeseen pain and strife 

So now again I come to you and I am in desperate need for change 

Dear conscience ,
will you help me to rearrange?
