Cogito, Ergo Sum

If I could decipher the entities outside my mind,
Then I would not need to sort fact from fiction.
If I could determine the fallibility of my senses,
Then I would not question your validity.
If I had not discovered Descartes’ theory,
Then I would not think these thoughts.
If what I imagined was figments and fractions,
Then surely therefore I could not think I am.
If I could deceive myself of my fears,
Then I would live my dream for eternity.

Pondering if anything besides myself is real,
