Identities

Who would you be

If tomorrow you were to wake up without a job to go to

Who would you be

If tomorrow you were to wake up to your cubicle, your colleagues, your identity as an employee, wiped off, as if a clean slate

Would you still matter

Would you still be relevant



Who would you be 

If tomorrow you were to wake up without a family to call your own

Who would you be

If tomorrow you were to wake up to you being a parent, a child, a sibling, a friend, a lover, completely forgotten as if a distant dream

Would you still be someone

Would you be anyone at all



It's rather ironic that a world obsessed with claiming individuality is in actuality, nothing but a rather inexpensive photocopy machine

Churning out clones of existences deluded in their false sense of identity

Take away their delusion and watch them crumble, their hollow insides shedding skin like the stale ash of an overburnt cigarette

Existential crisis isn't everyone's glass of whiskey, after all
