Surmise
(To suppose that something is true without having evidence to confirm it)
She fought courageously
Her battle was arduous; potentially leading to her demise
The only impediment to her success
Was flawed thoughts, she surmised
She obsessively tried to predict the future
She desperately tried to avoid all of life's pain
The inability to quiet her mind
Left her filled with doubt and self shame
They say that all of our experiences
Are contingent on the world we choose to view
If we don't have the experience - the perspective
All of our problems accrue
You see the strength of our battle
Is determined by the strength of one's mind
When we clarify and evaluate
It's like changing water into wine
So, let’s fight the battle courageously
Discern the emotions inside
The only impediment to our success
Is flawed thoughts, don't surmise
