Am I ? for friend Tate

a poem in rhyming quatrains

Am I?

 

I think therefore I am but I

 can only be aware of me.

If I should ask could you reply

 with well considered honesty.

 

I am as I appear to be

 to myself with my inner eye

Or do you see me differently

 and if so can you tell me why.

 

Or will you simply lie to me

 and tell me what I want to hear.

Because you think that you can see

 the truth might be too much to bear.

 

I think therefore I am but I

Cannot claim true validity

 There’s no real way to verify.

The simple fact that I am me.
