Cogito Ergo Sum
In the quiet depths
Single thought defines my name—
I think, so I am
Soft whisper builds my essence

Truth, I find in each ripple
For my brain never fickle
I think, so I breathe,
Born from whispers deep inside—
Alive but tongue-tied
In thought’s shadowed embrace
My soul rests in gentle grace
Each thought a spark, pure and bright
Mind’s steady flame brings the light
In the quiet depths I see
Proof that I exist and be!
