Impostor Syndrome

(album: Impostor Syndrome - 2022)

Something inside of me, in my bloodline
In my DNA, made me an artist
I've always loved creating, drawing, singing
And as I got older I felt the expectation
And the pressure to commodify it, and to fit it into a box
And make it something easy to consume
But I want to create without limit
And it's taken me a very long time
To realize why I started creating in the first place
I want to immortalize my feelings, my dreams
I want to translate my hearts language without fear
And so I choose to follow what it wants
I don't want to care about what makes me money
Or what gets me attention
I'm honoring what made me an artist
I want to honor my hearts language
Art says: look, I'm here, I exist, I am one of you
But I am always here even when no one is looking
