Imposter Syndrome – Written November 2022 (Aged 47)

Imposter Syndrome

imposter syndrome,
does not,
suffer from imposter syndrome
but i do,
i do,
but i know i put the hours in
i know i push myself
because i know that behind me
is a life i left behind
and in my mind
it is a life i could have lived
and the idea,
that i came close,
means i continue to prove myself
even when i have nothing to prove
and no one,
to prove anything to
and i continue shouting to a crowd
that does not exist
but i am certain i need to accelerate
from a life i narrowly missed
imposter syndrome
does not,
suffer from imposter syndrome
and i miss you mum,
but it is okay, i am loved and not alone
