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 Written for poetry contest "Three Sides To Every Story" 11/21/2024 Hosted by: Silent One Form: Fee verse

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
