Rallying the Troops

Started to get down on myself. It must be something I'm doing to cause all this. Do I inspire mistrust for a reason? Am I a bad guy?
At times like this you need perspective. Call some old friends (some of them very surprised to hear from you).
Am I a Bad Guy?
Am I worthy of trust?
And I am reminded...

What makes us worthy of trust?
Having people we love trust us.

Good Christ, is it really that easy?

Strangely enough, it is. And sometimes, you can't even get that...

This Ruined Puzzle

At what point is love not enough? At what point is the pain just not worth the pleasure anymore? How do you decide that? How does anyone?

Yes, I Love her. That is without a doubt. But, when Scars are all you're made of, is that enough? I've heard the same lies said about me so many times that I begin to doubt mysel. Could I actually do those things? I know I didn't, but could I? Nothing good can come of that.
Am I capable of evil? You better Fucking believe it! Does that make me Evil? If so, we're all doomed.
I'm constantly told that the Bible says that thinking a sin is the same as committing it.
What?!?
I'm sorry, but I still believe in Free Will! If I want to do something and I don't do it, then I am stronger than it! I am more than Biology! I am more than Desire!
But, will that keep me warm at night...
