or maybe not
maybe you are tired of stories
I know I am
tired of being told stories
that I am told I have to hear
but never being asked to tell my own story
but I digress
let me tell you a story
once there was a man
who listened to all the stories he could hear
but found that they were all only partly true
and that everyone held their part of truth inside
and only told lies outside
till that day when the truth
slowly was eroded
in the soul of all
then the pieces were lost
in ashen twirling
of self deception
but everyone went on
telling stories
till the day the stories became true
because they presented false hope
and everyone pointed fingers at everyone else
accusing them of lying
never considering what lies they had told
and all the children were confused
but it no longer mattered
because as long as everyone
had a story to tell
everyone else would listen
just to tear into them
when their story was told
then one day
a dark figure appeared
his blank eyes dead
his black lips bleeding
then he said
let me tell you a story
the very last story you will ever hear.
