Best of 2019 #1: Sabrina Benaim – “The Truth Has Three Sides”

“I love you, still, I’m not sorry I don’t want to write about you anymore.”

Heading into the new year, we’ll be counting down the top-viewed videos on Button from 2019! Coming in first on the list, “The Truth Has Three Sides” by Sabrina Benaim. Congratulations Sabrina!

Note: This countdown list only covers a small fraction of the brilliant artists who let us share their work on our channel this year, and is by no means a definitive list of the “best” poems, simply the ones that got the most views.

Take some time and check out more from the past year on our channel.
