Tonight

 

tonight

 

been mostly faking it

 

the few times I’ve been real

I think you know

 

I’m shocked 

by my own ignorance

 

as much as by 

the happiness of others

 

I hear the circulation in my ears 

look at the stars and wonder 

 

if I’ll have time to read 

all the books I’ve bought 

◄ This Winter

What if tomorrow comes? ►

Imposter syndrome. I can relate. And to the pile of books. Another great poem.

I often have the same problem Robert. Will I have enough time to read all the books I have collected and still seem to collect. George Orwell once wrote a short story on his inability to keep up with both his cigarette and book habit. It wasn't the books that led to his early demise.
