Who are You?

You are you.
Or are you
a personification
of the flaw in you
that stands out
like your total self?

If the flaw is not You
only a part of you
or of your scheme of things
can I - with clear conscience -
rid myself of you
instead of excising the flaw?

Can I even differentiate
between what you do
and who you are?
Then, when I am feeling secure
in being again with you
will the tumor return
indistinguishable from you?
