Ego Ergo Amo
I didn’t know
Who I was
Because
I thought I was you
I didn’t know
What I wanted
So instead
I wanted to be you
It’d be ok
In a crowd
Surrounded
By stimulus
But home alone
In solitude
There’d be only
Listlessness
Who am I
What are we
Why even care
Into silence, scream
Just a kid
A singular soul
Is there purpose
What’s my role
Torturous
Those nights alone
Sleeping with
A knife
Crying
Praying I’d make it to dawn
Just clinging to my life
Cogito ergo sum
I think
Therefore
I am
Descartes tried
To reason out
How we know
We exist
But if no reason
Does exist
What then?
Maybe,
That’s the trick
There are reasonS
To exist
In each of us
There is a cause
Of free will
We are to pick
Cognizant
We are to choose
The thing that
Drives us quick
And if I am
To choose my fate
I will be bold
Not hesitate
So I’ve decided
Along the way
To christen myself
The dawn of that day
I will be fire
I will be light
I will be love
And I will fight
I will give purpose
To the kid
With a knife
I choose
To be a champion
Of truth
And might
I’m thankful for
this pain I feel
It truly is
a gift from above
Ego ergo amo
I am, therefore, I love
