Social Illusion

Social illusion

I went to touch my body. As I began to press inward it did not even hurt.

 From my right side to its left, my hand effortlessly passed through me.

No, I am not transparent,  I am a construct formed from my delusion. 

Some call me a catfish. To others, I am a narcissist.

 I am me, I am I, I am mine, I am all that I want you to see.

 I want all that you can give to me. I am a product of my own creation.

 I am a deceptive, social illusion.
