I spend most of my time wondering when I'm gonna get the guts to actually be the person that I pretend to be. How can I forget the past six years? The past 6 months? How can I let the examples of my failures sit entombed in my impeccable photographic memory? How can I let myself be my own biggest critic? But the real question is... When will they all realize that I'm a fraud? I've always known that I'm not brave enough to truly stand up to myself. But how can I convince myself that maybe I can turn myself into a fraud of a fraud? Maybe I can denigrate my own negations... I'm going to turn the tables on my own demons. I will triumph over their triumph. I am a fraud of my own fraud.
