Faker by Tom Spicer. Spoken by Rupert Degas.
As Tom Spicer says,
βIf ever there was something in desperate need of a rebrand, itβs imposter syndrome. It definitely sounds bad. But so many amazingly talented people have encountered it and lived to tell the tale, how bad can it really be? In fact imposter syndrome might just be the reason for their amazingness in the first place. Maybe Charles Bukowski summed it up best when he said, βThe problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidenceβ.
Hear, hear Tom Spicer! Your poem Faker, is the perfect way to end Season One of The Imposterous. Thank you for sharing it with us and our fellow frauds!
