Imposter Syndrome
Updated: Apr 9
In every group of friends,
there is one who thinks he is the funniest.
He speaks loudly.
He laughs at his own jokes.
He demands all the attention.
He knows he is not funny.
In every car,
there is one who knows the way.
She says turn left, now right.
She says one more mile.
She says go there.
She is lost.
In every gym,
there is one who acts the strongest.
He plays all the sports.
He masters all the machines.
He loves leg day.
He feels weak.
In every class,
there is one who believes she is the smartest.
She raises her hand.
She answers the questions.
She earns the highest score, a 95.
She thinks she has failed.
In every job,
there is one who insists they are in charge.
They make the schedules.
They give the raises.
They set the agenda.
They worry they will be fired.
In every crowd,
There is one who claims she belongs.
She is always included.
She is always invited.
She is always surrounded.
She is alone.
