Confabulation of the inner kind
Chat to myself, in my own time.
Am I a liar? Or just unaware
Of why some people don’t stop to stare?
Is it just me?
Or perhaps self-deception
Of peoples reactions; perceptions
Deeper I go into my mind
Trying to solve what I just can’t find
Mind, whirling with ideas new
Medic notes and book reviews
Found a novel full of facts
The brain’s abound with mem’ry
Spiralling, spinning, sprawling, learning, living.
Confabulation of the psychiatric kind
Tied up in knots of the naughty mind
Am I a liar? Or just unaware
Of why some people really don’t care
Is it just me?
Or perhaps self-deception
Of people’s reactions; reception
Deeper I go into my mind
Trying to solve what I just can’t find
Mind, whirling with ideas new
Medic notes and book reviews
Found a novel full of facts
The brain’s abound with mem’ry
Spiralling, spinning, sprawling, learning, laughing
Who am I?
Who are they?
Why won’t I let
Myself out to play?
Conspiculation of the obvious kind
Blatant respect for my visible find
Am I a liar? Or just unaware
Of why that one person really does care
Is it me or self deception
Of my own reaction; attraction
Deeper I go into my mind
Not trying to find what I’ve already found
Mind, whirling with ideas new
Medic notes and book reviews
Found a novel full of facts
The brain’s abound with mem’ry
Spiralling, spinning, sprawling, learning, loving.

The question 'who am I' is much discussed in the 'upanishads' (Indian texts on the universal knowledge)
