Who Am I ?

What am I
If I am not my thoughts.
If what I think is always changing,
And there's no psyche-law

I can't be my mindset because of its constant change,
So it can't be what I think that makes me remain the same

Who am I
If I am different physically
To how i used to be, as a baby indeed but, not least, to last week.

The cells of the 'Miles' that dropped out my mother's womb
Arn't the cells of the person now tapping on this phone.

Biologically I'm different. Psychologically I'm changing. My memories are fragmented and my body keeps reshaping.

Other than my name what of me remains me?
My every defining feature is subject to change and inconsistency.

A man named Julian Baggini explored how we know who we are:
Concluding "there's no single seat of personal identity"
My sense of 'me' is thready

With every piece playing its part.
The human sense of self is much like a piece of Art.
