Perception

We like to point fingers at the things we perceive To bring us down And cause harm to our well-being In order to avoid these enemies like the plague But the scariest truth is that these things Our enemies Are not always objective and obvious They aren't always things we can easily remove from our lives They are tangled deep within our veins Like a cancerous tumor on an important organ Intertwined with benevolent and neutral traits we have We can not cut out all of our bad parts Without losing or damaging the good parts that make us Who we are
