To Be, Or...?

Who am I? What is a who?
I am me, but who are you?
I think; therefore I, I, I ...
What is am? Thoughts fly by.

My mind is there, but like the sun,
I can not look at it, as one.
My thoughts are neither here nor there ...
They are simply everywhere.

I hesitatingly try to reach,
For Tantalus' societal peach.
I'm trapped amidst the land of "others" ...
Where are my sisters, or my brothers?

Within I am, I am within.
I scarcely know where to begin.
I search beyond, both wide and far ...
Horizon's edge, to catch a star.

If I could only see or hear,
Within my mind the world out there ...
Perhaps my life would then make sense,
Instead of hanging on a fence.

If I could simply only be
A person who is yet not me ...
To be me, and to be not
A mindless, rambling, dead robot.
