Arguments – Written Tuesday 21st March 2023 (Aged 48)

Arguments

i was in a stand off with imposter syndrome
before it even had a name
before i knew what it even was
before it became known and gained fame
i have been arguing with imposter syndrome
and shouting it down
ever since i was first lost and found
i have been pushing back on imposter syndrome
ever since i can remember
ever since i was young and naïve
ever since i first found my hunger
and ever since i first lost my self belief
before i knew who i actually was
before self doubt easily tracked me down
and before the fog made sure i was easily lost
