imposter syndrome

(Album: befriending my tears - 2023)

Woke up feeling good so I'm writing this song
That was a lie, I didn't sleep at all
Last night I called up a friend to validate my woes
Think I have a bad case of imposter syndrome

These days, I'm not liking myself
Do I just fake it till I make it, I'm afraid I never will
These days, all I can say is
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out anyway

Stuck in a pit that I dug myself in
Nothing new, just me befriending my tears
I feel bad for canceling plans
It's hard to stay when you don't have a say
And all you do is dissociate

I know that I'm better than this
Just trying to figure out

These days, I'm not feeling myself
I try to act calm when it's too loud, I just tend to freak out
These days, I just can't seem to shake
Off the wrongs, is it wrong to feel this way?
There's just so much I can take, oh
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out anyway
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out anyway
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out

Yeah, I know that I'm better than this
Sometimes it's just hard to admit
I'm not really liking myself
I think I need some help

These days, I'm just trying my best
To be the one to say "I'm strong enough to overcome"
These days, all I can say is
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out anyway
Life is strange, I'll just ride it out anyway
