Is Not

Is Not

Do you know what Impostor Syndrome is?
"The persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved 
or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills." 
- Google. Read more
A common occurrence in biz
One day I took a quiz
Came to realize, there's nothing wrong with my skills
But I still feel this way
Almost everyday
A total lack of belonging
Did I, maybe, miss my calling
This feeling is pervasive
Sometimes causing me to act abrasive
Although this is not who I am
Back to the drawing board 
Where is Sam?
It's difficult to enjoy my success
Thinking I deserve it less
My Boss and The Board say I'm great
But I cannot stop the self-scath
I hope to get over this soon
And enjoy my career - Honeymoon
