Just a thought

Draft after draft after draft.

At what point are you happy?

There's always room for improvement.

As my second, first academic year draws to an end, I can see I have improved a lot in all ways.

I feel as though this 'thought' is a metaphor and justification for how I have changed as a person.

4th redraft already.

I'm as disposable as the words I have just deleted.

I will, can, and have redrafted myself.

From personality traits to twitter accounts: they can be trashed.

I redraft your idea of me with childhood story.
I redraft your thoughts of me with my choice of clothes.
I redraft your perception of me with every word I use and every word I don't.

You see, I, like you, am a social construct.

Who am I really?
Who are you really?

Identity issues? Not even.

Since my intellect has improved as a direct result of the improvement in choice of university, my understanding of society has also surged.
Or actually, decreased?


What is society?
What is reality?
It isn't real.

'Earth' is a social construct, filled with infinite complexities.

We will never know,
Who I really am,
Who you really are.

What. Is. Life.

Will we ever know?



And no, I'm not high.
