Bias can transform
An ordinary opinion
To one that favors in the defense of another.
Bias can change
How groups of people may feel
If it is directed towards or against them.
Bias is a weapon
Can be used with care
Can deal blows to identity
Can harm, hurt or share.

I could pretend to be happy
When the world is ending
And you'd all believe me
I'm a great actor
But never onstage
I can say I'm happy for you
Congrats that's so cool
When under it all
It's hard
It's really hard
When there are so many people to balance all the time
So many personalities
So many conversations
Overlapping
Talking over each other
So many big emotions
I think you make me really happy
I think it’s sort of all-consuming
I think I want to be with you every second
Of every day
I think maybe what keeps me up at night
Is replaying you
Replaying us

You're absolutely right! Do you have ways of overcoming internal biases, if you ever notice them arising in yourself and affecting your opinions or actions?
Yes - sometimes I'll slow down and think of the situation at a neutral status, and rethink my actions from that point forward.
