Im Sorry Daddy

What was I thinking
I should have prepared
Offbeat was my blinking
It’s clear, I don’t care

I’m only a fraud
Incompetent fake
An average facade 
Even that isn’t great

Unfortunate victims
Who saw false potential
It seems that I’ve tricked them 
With phony credentials 

Make no mistake
This is not a confession
I, too, took the bait
Subconscious deception

Whoa, what a twist of the dagger, right into your subconscious. Here's to 'Real!' Cheers, Gershon
