The Trickster

Sometimes I feel

It doesn’t matter

How much evidence is provided

To disprove my feelings

Of inadequacy and self-doubt

The imposter will remain

With the keys that I gave

What if they see it too

Sneaky, sly, and slick

It has more than just one trick

Even I am just a fool

To this self-created ghoul

I look in the mirror

And my reflection becomes clearer

Mirror Mirror

On the wall

Who is the fairest

Of them all

Not you Imposter

Not you

    It’s hard sometimes to find your authentic self , but when you find your true self and accept who you are, you won’t feel like an imposter anymore
