Three Sides To Every Story


Where is the truth within all of the fabricated falsities
Everyone has their own versions of life and its histories
You see, which version to believe, one, two, or three
Tragedy, drama, or comedy so to speak, unsolved mysteries
Let me listen within, Me, Myself, and I are arguing again
Why can't these three agree, don't they see the same things
Different versions of reality, misunderstood philosophies
Why is this need to change the truth so apparent
Apparently I am missing something, what could it be
Alas through all of my figuring I've learned to not listen
To me, myself, or the rest of society full of lies
The ever changing stories to fit their own personalities
The entering of non-existent facts to get the right feedback
So what I see is exactly what I see and that is finality
I am tired of being misled and persuaded to believe
To believe every side to every story that are all fake
For Heavens sake this task is daunting, rest your case
My name is The Honorable Judge Jacob Cleery and this is my life
Spending everyday listening to all three sides of a story
And this is what goes on inside of my head, while listening
Yah sure you did buddy, this one is definitely a liar...guilty

Thank you so much Silent, I am not sure what you mean exactly by saying it is your last contest on The Soup but I hope it doesn't mean that you will no longer be on this site. You have inspired me so often these last 8 years or so and you will be missed if that is the case my friend. I hope allis well with you and thanks again for everything

Dear brian, your poems always have a sincere voice, that i hear so loud and clear as i read, and this is no exception, i resonates with what youv expressed here, and i smiled as i read the lines “ Let me listen within, Me, Myself, and I are arguing again Why can't these three agree, don't they see the same things“ iv had those moments! This is beyond powerful! so well delivered! Absolutely loved reading this! Think silent one will like this! Best wishes

I try to take these themes and write something that I think will be different than other writers, it has been hard for me the few years I could barely write at all Just within the last few months I am coming back into it and I am happy because I need that release. I'm rambling I just want everyone to enjoy it< Appreciate you friend
