Who Am I

Listen to poem:
Am I what I can become since my die was cast? Or is fate concrete-set immutable, with me a bystander. I think, have doubts, which confirms that I am exists, but can promote and foster the universal illusion of separate self, in the soul's search for happiness and fulfillment. Am I my mind, or something deeper, undefined, in a shifting fleeting game that I learn, to play, get better at, in time, with more trials and experiences? Alas, there's no way of knowing where the truth lies. Whether I am a fish cruising alone, or in an 'I am' school of like 'am' kind.
