Self Awareness

I dove into my consciousness
And landed on my head
The truth that I desired just
Gave me surprise instead

I sought the person others see
By ripping myself bare
But after peeling layers free
I saw nobody there

Descartes said “I think, therefore I am”
To prove his own existence
But thinking suggested I was not
So I have some resistance

I’m not sure what I need to do
But nevertheless I’m fighting
By avoiding self-analysis
And doing lots of writing
