The voice of doubt speaks again, am I enough
Do I really know all this stuff
Did I just get lucky, or is it true
That I’m actually competent enough to do
Everything that I’m perceived as capable of doing
Why are there in my mind doubts brewing
About my capability- is it because I carry the burden
Of reasonable or unreasonable expectation
Is it a function simply of my youth (and lack of experience)
Sometimes these feelings of inadequacy are intense..

I have been working to reduce
This imposter syndrome which tends to produce
Doubts in my mind about my abilities
When a doubt arises I just seize
That feeling and toss it away
Thus keeping the imposter syndrome at bay
Quite honestly, it is a work in progress
But at least I’m able to enjoy my success
Without feeling like a fraud
At least my achievements I can applaud
