Is it imposter syndrome
When I strongly believe I should be here
Yet
You tell me I don’t belong.
Am I fooling myself by believing
I belong
I am good enough
I am capable
But you tell me I don’t belong
When I ask for a caption
A list
A written summary
When I ask for a space
To park with my blue badge
When I ask for understanding
And patience
And trust
Yet I do not perform
Like you expect an academic
To perform
Am I really the problem
When you tell me I don’t belong?
