My Three-Man Opera

The first man is the self I know. 
Or at least I think I know him.
The second man most others know, 
Since he’s the one I show them.
The third man is my inner soul, 
But I try hard to protect him. 
He plays a very crucial role,
Though most cannot perceive him.
Melodies there three achieve,
But only in my mind.
And in my thoughts, I do believe,   
Their lyrics intertwine.
These three men play distinctive roles, 
But as a chorus nobody hears them. 
Yet their synchrony plays a crucial role 
When my life explodes in mayhem.
