Poem: Coin Tossing

A poem about how imposter syndrome and self sabotage are sides of a coin.

If you are afraid of imposter syndrome
it’s because you know deeply
about your own self-sabotage. You think

this means others know too. But only
you know about the worst versions
of you. So your idea that you are not

good enough comes from the examples
you already have. That is your proof.
It’s unconnected though, and only

you see them as two sides of the coin
you must toss; the two sides of you
projecting (or is it protecting?) loss.
