Uncertainty

tetrameter sonnet

 

 

 

Uncertainty

 

There is a question troubling me.

How do I know that I am me?

You question my identity

I answer satisfactorily.

You are convinced that I am me.

Though I have passed your scrutiny

 and proved I’m who I claim to be

I’m half convinced that I might be

somebody else who thinks he’s me.

This worries me considerably.

I can’t be sure that I am me

 A crisis of identity.

You would worry if you were me

plagued by this uncertainty.
