Fake it 'til you make it
What if they all knew
that I don’t know what I’m doing
Or if you found out
that I haven’t got a clue
What would people do
when they realize I’m pretending
Will they disregard me
Will they look right through
This place feels familiar
the invisibility
I crave to be seen
but it’s a safer place to be
Life tried to make me unobtrusive
but a performer lives in me
Who cares if it’s to their liking
I can only be just me!

I love it, especially the perfect title.

Dear K,
The good news- no one know what the hell they’re doing. We’re all just fakin it until we make. The great news is you do know what you’re doing because you’re about to throw that caution to the wind and gig out singing all the great songs I’ve heard from you on site. And you’re going to have the BEST time! So I have said it. So it shall be. Now, go have fun. H🌷

Fake it till you make it is what I live by. Otherwise I get too in my head and start thinking of the impossibilities instead of the possibilities.
Great ink 😁

Aha! Imposter’s Syndrome! I know that one! I have it fatally.
Ok, not true, but the feelings of inadequacy were aptly expressed, and I love the rally at the end. To quote SNL” You’re good enough! You’re smart enough! And dog gone it! People like you!”

That the cosmic joke. So many people are searching for the meaning in life that they miss living their life.
Well done.

Well you did a great job. I know toward the end is the challenge everyone is tired.
