Take note, your perception,
it gives you the power,
to decide how to react to things,
every day, every hour,
but beware this gift,
for you can take a pleasantry,
turn it into something awful,
and the bad is all that you will see,
but if you let yourself settle down,
and clear your head for a day,
then when you look again, perhaps,
you'll see it the correct way.
It's up to you to take it correctly,
the power is yours to hold,
but taking it incorrectly can hurt,
or at least so I am told.
