Imposter Void Imposter

by @shannonnibhriain

The mind it yells ‘imposter’ Each time I find the time to write Never telling who I am, only telling who I am not. Squawking, sulking in my ear Drives the pen, the words to veer, Drives the mind to that of Lears, Into the sullenness of my volition. Imposter, Imposter - not a syndrome but a title; The title of my biography, the world’s class joke The worlds least known, the worlds last hope. I have a Saviour but I am my own, Rather, I insist to be my own. Hypnotized by the shadow, or not a shadow but a void, A black void, not empty but falling, Falling deep and a miss, falling, falling to my abyss - Imposter Void Imposter, write your sweet nothingness, I pity myself but I go on, Imposter Void Imposter - Sympathetic, the abyss lends it’s kiss.
