Impostor Syndrome

from Simple Sugar by Louise Page

lyrics

I’m a fraud
I don’t know if anyone’s listening
And where’s my God?
Did I waste my youth praying?

When you’re cross with me
I know that I deserve it
I bear crosses, baby
And kindness never cures it

I’m a fraud
I’m a little child screaming in panties and a bra
Don’t look at me unless you’re gonna see me
Don’t listen unless you’re really listening

If I gut myself and spill onto your feet
Will you respect me?
Do you respect me?
If I gut myself and spill onto your feet
Will you comfort me?
Will you tell me that you love me?

Give me a God
Is she the way I feel
When I see little waves of black birds
In a blue sky
On a pink-clouded day
And I accidentally pray
To love myself the way
Those birds love the sky
Effortlessly
I wanna love myself effortlessly

I’ll expose myself before you expose me
You tell me that you love me
You don’t even really know me

If I gut myself and spill onto your feet
Will you still love me effortlessly?
I wanna love myself effortlessly,
Cause guess what? (What?)
I really know me
I’ll keep my guts to myself
Just don’t tell me that you love me
Effortlessly
