Fact exists, truth needs to be believed
My truth is important to me

Your truth is important, to you
My life is not just a single truth
But a village of many kinds of truth
The version you believe, may be different from mine
And both versions are true, to each of us
The duality of truth
Fights for resolution
And yet, coexists
Quietly, when it needs to
Funny concept this truth

And do we really need,
To believe the truth?
Are both just empty shadows
We chase, to play our role
In a divine comedy

Ineresting poem and well written. But, sometimes you know when you have found the ultimate truth.
The belief that truth exists is universal. but as you say our perceptions differ. The arrogance of organised religions who claim to have the only truth is unbeleivable to any thinking person We each have to find our own way to the truth
The simple truth is that it is not always simple, but your perception of it is right on.
