What is real? What isn’t?

Love is everywhere we look
In TV, books, and magazines
Don’t know how to feel? Just go look it up!
Our minds are polluted with lies
What is real? What isn’t?

How does one person know how to really love?
When there are falsehoods everywhere
The media polluting our minds with how we should feel
Why isn’t everything as perfect as it is in movies?
What is real? What isn’t?

We don’t know where to go
Our thoughts are too romantic
Is love the same as it is in books?
Or is it all just lies
What is real? What isn’t?

Contaminated feelings fill our minds
We don’t know where to turn
Are anyone’s feelings true?
Or do we just feel what we are told
What is real? What isn’t?
