Ego Sum

I think therefore I am.

That’s what they say - cogito, ergo sum.

Think what, though?

Am what? 

What if the thought I have is not recognisable as thought

And the flow of thoughts does not make sense to those

Who want to label my existence with a word

A phrase

A name

Do my thoughts exist if no one validates them?

Do I exist without thought?

Am I?

What is the sum of my parts when my cogito is diverse, my ego is not typical and my needs are not yours?

Ego Sum. 

Cogito.

Translation
