Perspective

Love isn't what it seems
Neither is goodwill or passion
Desire, belief, truth or faith
For what I have seen and experienced
Has changed my outlook on these ideals
That are ideally human
Love is easily conquered by selfishness
It cannot last because we must live our urges
Goodwill is a drug that numbs
And allows you to feel better than the good done
Desire and belief are masks for fear
Fear of being alone and of action and a fear of death
Truth doesn't exist
There is only perspective like a story in a newspaper
Faith is only for the conscience
A tool used to excuse flaws
I believed once and loved once and had faith and desired
I once told the truth
I twice told the truth
