Therefore I Am... Not Necessarily

Good or bad,
What you say
I think of myself
Is not what you think
I think of me.
Because what you say
I think of myself
Is only what you think of me,
Whether right or wrong.
What you think
I think of me
Is not what I think of myself;
But what you think of me
Is what you say 
You really only think
I think of myself.
